A Welsh petrol station is selling diesel for less than £1.50 a litre. The Shell garage in Begelly, Pembrokeshire, has unleaded for 144p and diesel for 149.9p per litre.
A big drop from when the average UK petrol and diesel prices were hitting regular daily records - in June last year - of around 191p per litre of petrol and 199p per litre of diesel. At these prices, tax to the UK Government represented around 43-44% of the total price that drivers were paying.
It has been reported that the price for wholesale diesel has fallen to a 15-month low but this is not always being passed on at the forecourt.
