Compare that to June 14, 2022, and the average price is now at £1.85, meaning the area has seen a 26p average jump in price in this time.

In the City of Glasgow area, petrol prices have only jumped an average of 15p in this same time.

Admiral also estimated how much money would be spent on petrol per £1,000 earned by looking at the average petrol prices and the median hourly salary data for each local authority district in Scotland (2021) from the Office of National Statistics.

East Ayrshire ranked just outside of the top 10 in this list, with people spending an average of £38.90 per £1,000 earned on their salary.
