While Scotland saw a more than 10p drop for both petrol and diesel, the RAC say that prices should be even lower.
December saw fuel rates drop again, but experts say that the reduced pump prices do not go far enough.
As for diesel drivers, there has been a similar drop through the month, as the 171.21p logged on the last day of the month, that's 10.96p lower than the 182.17 on the first. He added: "In Europe prices are also considerably cheaper as the average price of a litre of unleaded is 144p and diesel 152p. And just across the Channel in France unleaded is an average of 146p and diesel 154p."
