ASDA is one of the UK's largest retailers and currently operates over 600 supermarket sites.

It also has around 320 petrol station forecourts across the UK.

That's before it confirmed plans to buy 132 Co-op sites across the country – with 129 having petrol stations attached.

We previously revealed how Costco customers can find out the price of fuel and their nearest forecourt on its website.

But how do you find out where your nearest Asda petrol station is and how much fuel might cost?

Asda's website has a petrol station locator tool where you can enter your postcode and it will take you to the nearest forecourt.

For example, if you live in Bromley, Kent, your nearest forecourt will be the Asda in Charlton, roughly 4 to 5 miles away.

If you live in Birmingham city centre, your nearest forecourt is the Asda in Small Heath.

If you're based near Bearsden train station on the outskirts of Glasgow, your closest fuel forecourt is in Bearsden, just half a mile away.

However, while you can find the nearest fuel station with the tool, you'll struggle to find prices.

An Asda spokesperson said the best way to find out prices at your nearest station was to actually go there.

This is because prices fluctuate on a daily basis so it's hard to give an accurate estimate.

How can you find out about cheap local prices?

If you don't want to leave the comfort of your home to drive around for the cheapest petrol there are alternatives.

There are websites that can tell you where to get the cheapest fuel in your local area.

On the PetrolPrices app and website, which compiles data from the public, you can check prices from more than 8,000 forecourts near you.

Comparison website Confused.com also has a petrol prices checker that lets registered users find petrol prices within a five, 10 or 25mile radius.

Finally, Fleet News and Allstar lets you check petrol prices across multiple counties to see how your area compares to others across the UK.

How can I reduce my fuel usage?

As well as shopping around for the cheapest fuel, there are tricks and hacks you can employ to actually cut your fuel usage down.

For example, avoiding harsh braking or other sudden movements in your vehicle will make for a smoother drive and reduce the amount you spend on fuel.

Decluttering your car by either removing unnecessary items or not filling your tank up to the brim will help to cut back on costs as well.

In addition, pumping your tyres up will create less drag on the road and reduce the amount of fuel or diesel you use.
