That's according to the Consumer Council which says 500 litres of oil costs around £7 less than last week.

The average price is £416.69, compared to £662.86 when prices peaked on the 10th of March.

While the average price this week for 300L is £257.29 and the average price for 900L is £730.10.

Here is the full list of average prices for each council area for this week from the Consumer Council.
