Fuel prices fall for last seven days
RAC head of policy Simon Williams said:
"While prices at the pumps have fallen for the last seven days, the drop isn't as great or as quick as we’d expect, given our analysis of wholesale data. Petrol has only come down by a penny a litre and diesel by almost 2p (1.66p). We hope drivers will see the average price of petrol fall by at least 3p a litre and diesel by double that in the coming days.
"Drivers understand retailers have had no option but to put prices up due to the cost of oil being so much higher and they're also suffering with fuel theft as widely reported this week, but as wholesale prices reduce so should forecourt prices."
