The price of petrol across Ceredigion has dropped to its lowest levels in over four years.

A number of filling stations across Ceredigion are now selling petrol for less than £1 a litre, the lowest since February 2016.

In Aberystwyth, Morrisons is selling unleaded petrol for 99.7p a litre, with diesel costing 104.7p a litre.

These prices are identical at the nearby Texaco filling station in Llanbadarn Fawr.

In Cardigan, Tesco is selling unleaded petrol for 99.9p a litre and diesel at 105.9p.

The price drop means filling a 55-litre family car is around £7 cheaper than seven weeks ago.

Ashley Myers, head of fuel for Morrisons, which was the first supermarket to lower the price, said: "This cut will help people who are travelling to work, those shopping for essentials, and those assisting the elderly and vulnerable.

"We want to play our full part in reducing the cost of living and feeding the nation at this difficult time."

Government figures show the average cost per litre and petrol and diesel on 4 May was 107.6p and 114.9p respectively.

The price reduction is a result of a crash in the cost of crude oil due to the coronavirus.

Simon Williams, fuel spokesman at RAC, has however warned that the low price may not last long.

He said: "It remains to be seen how long prices this low will persist for, with some early indications that wholesale petrol prices have started to rise as a result of the world oil price creeping up."
