Cheapest Petrol Prices Recorded In NI
Northern Ireland has the cheapest petrol prices in the UK, according to a report by the AA.
The average cost of petrol is 111.5p a litre.
NI also has the cheapest diesel prices, now at 117.4 per litre.
AA president Edmund King said: "Although UK drivers should be grateful to the Coalition for freezing fuel duty over the past four years and not adding to the burden of crippling pump prices, events in the oil and fuel markets in recent weeks send a dismal message to drivers - nothing has changed in the past four years.
"Commodity market speculation is as impulsive and dangerous as ever, pump prices shoot up with little effort and the UK continues to have the highest fuel tax burden in the EU."
