Petrol stations in Shropshire are continuing to reduce their pricesin wholesale costs, and the day after BP reported profits of £6.9bn between April and June, it is again independent filling stations which are recording the lowest prices around Shropshire and Mid Wales.The RAC said fuel prices have been falling 'too slowly' despite a 9p reduction last month which led to nearly £5 being shaved off the cost of a 55-litre tank of petrol and a £3.
RAC fuel spokesman Simon Williams said: “What ought to have happened is that the biggest retailers cut their prices more significantly on a daily basis, given the wholesale price of petrol has fallen steadily over the last eight weeks. Instead, average retailer margin for petrol across the industry has been up around 20p a litre for the last two weeks – more than three times its long-term average.
A number of petrol stations - mainly independent - around the county are now charging much less, with the cheapest petrol price in Shropshire now at 157.9p and diesel reaching 174.9p.
