PETROL prices in Cumnock have fallen drastically over the past few days.

In recent months petrol and diesel prices have shot up as a result of the price of crude oil becoming more expensive.

Some garages across Ayrshire saw almost £2 per litre of petrol, while diesel prices shot over the £2 mark.
