Wrexham AFC fans will have to cough up on fuel costs if they are to follow the Reds away this season.
With petrol prices bordering on a record high, the prospect of following Phil Parkinson's side becomes a daunting prospect.
Figures from data firm Experian show the average price of a litre of petrol at UK forecourts reached a new high of 191.2p last week.

Combine that with the number of miles Wrexham will have to travel this season and it looks set to be an expensive season.
The Reds' support has always been phenomenal, but it went to new heights last season, for example, Wrexham's away fans outnumbered Boreham Wood's home fans.
With the league returning to 24 teams next season, there is an extra away day in the calendar.

The cheapest petrol price in Wrexham is 185.9p per litre. An average car in the UK does 38.8 miles to the gallon.
With those calculations, the car journey calculator sust.it, priced a mile of fuel at 22p.
Over the course of the season, Wrexham play 23 games away, amassing a total of 3,888 miles.
Adding a return journey onto that and fans are faced with 7,776 miles of travelling.

That in turn would cost a staggering £1,710.72 in fuel.
While there is official coach travel and public transport, if fans were to drive to every ground in the National League, that is how much it would cost in fuel.
The shortest journey and closest team Wrexham will face next term is Altrincham, which is 46 miles away.
Meanwhile, the longest journey fans will be faced with is Torquay United, which is a mammoth 252 miles away.
The Reds' fixtures are announced at 9am tomorrow morning and there will be hopes that there are no Tuesday night trips to Torquay!
