Drivers queue at Welsh petrol station with 'cheapest price in the UK'

Hordes of drivers have been seen queueing outside a petrol station in Pembrokeshire due to the unbelievably cheap prices of fuel there. Motorists endured long waits at the Eastgate Garage in Narberth on Friday afternoon as the station is offering unleaded petrol and diesel at 129.9 pence per litre.

Garage owner Vijay Jaganathan said people were travelling for miles to “check whether it was actually true” after seeing pictures of the prices on social media. “It has gone a bit crazy,” Mr Jaganathan, 41, told WalesOnline on Friday evening after one of his busiest ever days since he took over the running of the garage in 2018.

The garage - which has recently changed from Murco to Texaco - has been closed for ten weeks while it increased its fuel capacity. “While we were Murco we had very small tanks so we were not able to buy fuel in bulk which means the fuel wasn’t cheap,” he continued. “We are the only station in the area so we wanted to expand so we approached Texaco and we have been closed for ten weeks while we increased capacity.
