Petrol prices at UK forecourts have fallen to the lowest level since mid-May.
Figures published by the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy show a litre of petrol cost an average of 165.5p on Monday, while diesel was 181.1p per litre.
They are the lowest prices since May 16, coinciding with a fall in wholesale costs due to a drop in oil prices.
But where are the best places to fill up in the Taunton area?
We try and keep people abreast of where the cheapest forecourts are fairly regularly using petrolprices.com.
The last time we took stock of the local prices, they had risen to very high levels.
But Taunton is following the national trend and prices appear to be falling.
