As petrol prices are set to hit a record high this week, we have rounded up the cheapest places to fill up in Salisbury.

New data from Experian Catalyst shows that on Thursday, average petrol pump prices moved within a fraction of 1p of the record.

Prices reached 142.16p per litre, when the highest price recorded was 142.48p in April 2012.

The AA says that recent episodes of panic buying are probably still causing "turmoil" in the industry.

The Petrol Retailers Association says fuel price records are "almost certain to be eclipsed" before the end of next week.

It says the main reason for this is the "rise and rise of crude oil costs", which have increased by more than 50 per cent since January.

With prices going up, the Journal has put together a list of petrol stations offering the lowest prices in Salisbury, according to information services provider, PetrolPrices.
