These pictures show a massive queue of cars at Britain's cheapest petrol station selling fuel for £1.64 a litre - more than 25p a less than the national average. Lines of cars can been seen outside discount retail park Trago Mills in Newton Abbot in Devon.

Unleaded petrol is currently on sale for 164.9p a litre - compared to the national average of 190.65p. It has the cheapest fuel in the UK, according to the RAC fuel watch - and was so busy today an attendant was in place to guide cars in and out.

Diesel is selling for 179.9p - compared to a national average of 198.42p. Their price for unleaded petrol has still seen an increase - having been 153.9 in April 2022 - but is now the cheapest in the UK.

The RAC said: "We monitor both wholesale and retail fuel prices daily, including those at the UK's supermarkets and urge retailers to pass on cost savings to motorists when they can be made."
