It's been another good week for motorists in the Whitchurch area as fuel prices began to drop as tensions eased in the Iran War.
Yet again, DA Roberts led the way with the announcement of a further 5p reduction on diesel, making the current price of 174.9p.
Meanwhile, Mere Motors in Ellesmere also saw a drop in both petrol and diesel prices, and Victoria Garage in Whitchurch dropped the price of diesel.
It will come as a welcome relief for many, as some garages were close to breaking the £2 per litre mark.
