Don't shop on the motorway, Which? says
Consumer magazine Which? suggests female motorists and their male counterparts are being ripped off by motorway service stations.
The publication visited 51 sites up and down the UK and found bottles of water on sale at four times the price they would cost in a local supermarket.
It was also discovered diesel was sometimes being sold at 13 pence a litre more than at a non-motorway fuel station, while some cappuccinos cost £2.99.
Which? picked up a selection of snacks from Sainsbury's for a total of £5.48, but at Moto Reading on the M4, the same items were on sale for a combined £10.31.
Richard Headland, Editor of Which? Car, says: "If you're trying to save this summer, buy food and drinks from a supermarket in advance and fill up your car from your cheapest local fuel station before you leave home."
Meanwhile, Moto Trowell on the M1 won the title of Best Motorway Service Area 2008.
