Motorists in Wales could soon be eligible for discounted fuel at the pumps.
A rebate scheme that applies to the Scottish islands and the Isles of Scilly could be extended to remote and rural parts of the UK mainland.
Petrol pumps and other fuel retailers in 35 remote areas in Britain – including some in Powys, Gwynedd, Anglesey and Monmouthshire - have been asked to let the Government know how much they charge for petrol and diesel.
The UK government scheme, introduced to islanders off the coast of Scotland and in the Isles of Scilly in March 2012, gives motorists a maximum 5p per litre reduction in duty. The European Commission would have to approve any change to the scheme.
