Petrol prices have fallen for the first time this year, analysis by the PA news agency has shown, with motorists typically being charged £1.35 for a litre of unleaded, while a litre of diesel is £1.37. But petrol has been a lot cheaper than this, so we took a look at some of Derby’s forecourts of yesteryear
Left, we found the city’s cheapest fuel in April 2018 at Costco. Right, prices were creeping up at the Tesco garage in Normanton Road in November 2007
Left, a cheap fill-up at the Esso station on Markeaton roundabout in January 2009. Right, similar prices at the Jet garage in Five Lamps in December 2000
It was well under £1 a litre to fill up with unleaded at Morrisons in Sir Frank Whittle Road in June 2009
The cheapest fill-up we found, just 77.9p per litre of unleaded, at Sainsbury’s at the Wyvern Centre in December 2000
Prices were over £1 a litre at the Murco/ Costcutter Express in Traffic Street in November 2007
