Petrol prices on King Street in Aberdeen have dropped by as much as 13p per litre in the last six weeks amidst a nationwide declining trend.

However, diesel prices in the area have not seen a similar reduction.

The current UK average for petrol is 187.88p, while diesel is 196.37p, according to the RAC.
