RAC reaction to CMA's annual monitoring report on road fuel prices
Following the publication of a new report from the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) on road fuel prices in the UK, RAC head of policy Simon Williams said:
“Sadly, many drivers won’t be surprised to hear that they’re still paying too much for their fuel, especially judging by the complaints we receive about large price variations from area to area.
"The fuel retailers trade association has claimed that rising operating costs were the reason for average margins on petrol and diesel being higher, but this has now been clearly rejected by the Competition and Markets Authority which says these don’t explain why fuel margins remain high compared to historic levels.
“We sincerely hope the new fuel finder scheme, combined with ongoing scrutiny from the CMA, finally leads to increased competition and lower forecourt prices for drivers right across the country."
