Petrol hits £2 a litre in Wales and is now more expensive than diesel in some places

Petrol prices in Wales have broken at the £2 a litre barrier - for what is believed to be the first time - with a record high being recorded at Carmarthenshire's Pont Abraham services on the M4. On Tuesday morning, the price for unleaded petrol was more expensive than diesel at 202.9p a litre compared to 201.9p.

Prices at Swansea West were also high with 202.9p for unleaded and 204.9p for diesel per litre.

It comes as prices across the UK continue to reach record highs and soared by almost 6p a litre at some forecourts over the Jubilee bank holiday weekend, and on motoring organisation has warned the average could exceed 180p this week.
