Cheapest fuel prices in Shropshire revealed as motorists queue to take advantage of national drop
Independent garages are again leading the fuel price cuts in Shropshire amid a national warning to others that they are not reflecting a drop in wholesale costs.
Motorists were already queuing at DA Roberts, Whitchurch early Saturday morning after the company lowered its prices to £1.31.9p for unleaded and £1.44.9 for diesel.
The family run business says if it can do it why can't supermarkets with their bigger buying power.
Also below the £1.40 mark in the county is Mere Motors in Ellesmere, another independent selling unleaded for £1.36.9 and diesel at £1.46.9.
Both have seen drivers queuing over the past week to take advantage of their cheaper fuel.
In contrast the cheapest unleaded in the Shrewsbury area according to a national costs comparison site is Tesco at Harlescott, £1.45.9 with nearby Morrisons having the better diesel price at £1.52.7. In Telford motorists can get the best price at the pumps at Tesco, Arleston, £1.44.9 and £1.50.9.
