WITH average petrol prices at Scottish petrol stations hitting a record high of 175.6p a litre on Monday, motorists have been warned that the “worst is still to come”.
It's thought average fuel prices are likely to hit £2 per litre this summer.
Simon Williams from the RAC said: “With analysts predicting that oil will average 135 US dollars a barrel for the rest of this year, drivers need to brace themselves for average fuel prices rocketing to £2 a litre, which would mean a fill-up would rise to an unbelievable £110."
So with the cost of fuel hitting new heights, we've rounded up the top three cheapest places to get some in the area:
1. Jet, Springbank Service Station (Ayr Road KA12 8NF) - Unleaded 173.9p, Diesel 185.9p -
2. Gulf Howies Garage, Kilwinning (Stevenston Road, KA13 6NJ) - Unleaded 175.9p, Diesel 189.9p
3. Esso, Kilwinning (Bridgend Lake, KA13 7JB) - Unleaded 179.9p, Diesel 184.9p
