The fuel crisis has left many drivers in Hull struggling to make ends meet, with the price of unleaded fuel reaching an all-time high. The RAC has urged drivers to use fuel price comparison tools to save money, but the reality is more complex. While the government's Fuel Finder service and other comparison apps can help drivers find cheaper prices, the underlying issue of rising fuel costs remains. The BBC's snapshot of petrol prices in Hull revealed a significant difference in prices between forecourts just three miles apart, highlighting the importance of shopping around. However, for taxi driver Wayne Parsons, even the cheapest prices are still too high, especially when it's a matter of livelihood. The Gulf station at Northpoint Shopping Centre, Bransholme, offers a price of 146.7p per litre, which is more than 5p cheaper than a nearby station. This disparity in prices underscores the need for better fuel distribution and pricing strategies to ensure fair access to affordable fuel for all drivers, not just those who can afford to shop around.
