How the fuel duty cut has actually affected petrol prices in Wales one week on

It's been one week since Chancellor of the Exchequer Rishi Sunak cut fuel duty by 5p after what was the biggest ever drop and the first cut in two decades.

According to RAC's fuel watch, across the UK the average cost for unleaded now stands at 163.52p per litre as of March 29, and 177.47p for diesel.
