HERE are the cheapest places to get fuel in Wrexham and Flintshire.

Earlier this week, the RAC said prices for petrol and diesel in Britain are “far higher than they should be” as wholesale costs have fallen since the end of April, while retailers margins remain “persistently high”.

The average price of a litre of petrol at UK forecourts is 146.3p, which is “5p more expensive than it should be” given Northern Ireland is charging 141.1p for the same product, according to the company.

With many of us relying on our vehicles to head to work and out over the weekend, you're guaranteed to have to stop at a garage some time soon to fill up.

The cost of living crisis remains, and so we want to ensure drivers are reliably informed on the most cost-effective places to refuel.

According to PetrolPrices.com, the cheapest place to get petrol in Wrexham is the Smithy View Service Station in Acton, with unleaded priced at 136.7p. 

In joint second is ASDA and Morrison's which are both 138.7p per litre. While in third place is Tesco with 138.9p per litre. 

It's the same order for the price of diesel too, with Smithy View charging 141.7p per litre, ASDA and Morrisons are both priced at 144.7p, but Sainsbury's takes third place with 144.9p per litre.

RAC head of policy Simon Williams said: “Margins are once again staying persistently high, and drivers are paying the price.

“Our data clearly shows that pump prices haven’t fallen in line with the reduction in wholesale prices, so drivers across the UK – with the exception of those in Northern Ireland where fairer prices are charged – are once again losing several pounds every time they fill up.

“We believe there’s no good reason for retailers in Great Britain not cutting their prices at the pumps far further.

“We can only think they’re hoping no one will notice due to the distraction of the General Election.

“We hope that the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) is aware of what is going on and will use this to bring retailers into line as soon as it’s able to.”
