The costs at supermarkets and traditional forecourts stayed the same, said an RAC monthly report.

Filling a 55-litre family car with petrol averaged £69.88 at supermarkets and £82.25 at motorway services.

For diesel the average figure was £72.29 compared to £83.85.

Motorway retailers blame higher operating costs, including delivery and staff.

The RAC said September was a mixed month as a late 2p-a-litre cut meant petrol prices stayed flat while diesel climbed another penny to its highest for more than four years.

Spokesman Simon Williams added: “Petrol drivers will hope September was the month that stopped the rot in terms of rising pump prices — but this may well not be the case.

“Oil is at a four-year high and there is volatility in the exchange rate.”

RAC figures show a hefty divide between prices at the supermarket and on the motorway, for both diesel and unleaded fuel

To achieve her kick-ass figure, Hayden – who plays cheerleader Claire Bennet in Heroes – follows the ‘quartering’ rule. She eats only a quarter of the food on her plate, then waits 20 minutes before deciding whether she needs to eat again.

Hayden says: “I don’t have a model’s body, but I’m not one of those crazy girls who thinks that they’re fat. I’m OK with what I have.”

Nicollette says: “I don’t like diets – I see it, I eat it! I believe in eating healthily with lots of protein, vegetables and carbs to give you energy.”
