With diesel on average being as much as a third cheaper in some places, and unleaded falling on average by 12% according to the Post Office Travel Report based on 12 European countries, motorists can save significantly on this usual significant expense.

Some of their key findings included:

- Austria had the cheapest diesel fuel

- Diesel came in highest in Norway then came the UK and Italy
