Drivers have been rushing to one of the cheapest petrol stations in Swindon, forcing it to close off most of its pumps.
Petrol prices are continuing to soar across Swindon, with six forecourts charging in the 160p per litre range.
As of 5.30pm on Wednesday, Sainsbury's on Oxford Road had no diesel and only two pumps out of 16 were open for petrol.
Sainsbury's is the third cheapest petrol station in Swindon, according to petrolprices.com
The other pumps were cordoned off with cones.
Six stations have seen their petrol prices rise above the 150p per litre mark.
The Shell branches on Rodbourne Road and Shrivenham Road are selling petrol for 167.9p per litre while the Essos on Marlborough Road and Dorcan Way are charging 166.9p per litre.
The BP on Great Western Way and Texaco on Kingshill Road are offering petrol for 164.9p and 163.9p.
There are now only three stations in Swindon where prices are still in the 140p per litre range. Sainsbury's Bridgemead and Applegreen Swindon are the cheapest at 146.9p per litre and 147.8p per litre respectively.
The prices were compared using Confused.com and Petrolprices.com so are subject to change.
