OFT review into price of fuel

David Bizley, RAC technical director, says: “Anything that brings transparency to fuel pricing is very welcome. Most motorists are very aware that fuel prices go up far faster than they ever come down so it is a very positive move that OFT is seeking to clarify the situation once and for all. Rising fuel prices cause economic hardship for millions, particularly in rural areas, and hinder the growth of the economy so this really is news that motorists would like to have had a long time ago.
