Following Asda dropping its fuel prices by 4p a litre, RAC head of policy Simon Williams said: “It’s great to see Asda leading the way once again with a serious price cut on its forecourts, following our call for retailers to pass on savings from lower wholesale costs. This should spark others into action and help bring down costs for drivers right across the country. 

“The longer oil keeps trading around the $70 mark, the more likely we are to see petrol hit its lowest price in four years. We’re currently at an average of just under 139p for petrol and 145.5p for diesel, with both down a penny since the start of the month, but now we should really start to see that fall accelerate. 

“Drivers keen to fill up at the lowest prices possible should download the free myRAC app and use its comprehensive fuel finder feature to locate the cheapest petrol and diesel near them.”

M25 to shut during England game: RAC advice for drivers
RAC Breakdown spokesperson Alice Simpson said: “This weekend’s M25 closures could present a ‘red card’ for drivers heading home from Wembley Stadium on Friday night. With junctions 10 to 11 shutting at 9pm, just before the sold-out England game finishes, heavy congestion is almost inevitable for those traveling back to Sussex and Surrey. We encourage football fans to seek alternative routes where possible or use public transport to minimise queuing in traffic.

Following the Asphalt Industry Alliance (AIA) publishing its 2025 Annual Local Authority Road Maintenance (ALARM) survey, RAC head of policy Simon Williams said: “Once again, these figures paint a bleak picture of the state of the nation’s roads and confirm what a majority of drivers have known for a long time – that in far too many parts of the country, road surfaces are simply not fit-for-purpose.
