THE CHEAPEST places to get petrol in Flintshire and Wrexham have been revealed as prices soar once again. 

Across UK forecourts, the average price of unleaded fuel has reached £1.70 per litre for the first time - something the RAC has described as "another unfortunate landmark".

The RAC is calling on the UK Government to "take more action" to ease the financial burden on drivers.
