- Drivers using self-service pumps now pay twice as £99 cuts
off their refill
Analysis of Experian Catalyst data by the AA* shows that the
price of petrol and diesel rose again yesterday with the average
cost of petrol now 191.43 pence per litre (ppl) while diesel
flirts towards £2 a litre at 199.05 ppl. June showed a month of
regular price hikes which show no signs of offering relief
heading into the weekend.
Jack Cousens, head of roads policy at the AA, said; “With
Wimbledon well underway, drivers may be forgiven for borrowing
the iconic rant from John McEnroe as they pull up to the pump –
YOU CANNOT BE SERIOUS?!
“However, with some reports of aggressive behaviour towards
forecourt staff we urge people to channel the zen-like mentality
of Roger Federer when refuelling and not abuse staff. It is not
their fault which is why the AA is directly challenging the
government, retailers and the CMA to find a quick and effective
solution.
“The wholesale price of fuel continues to fall, yet drivers and
businesses are seeing the price go in the opposite direction.
Some drivers are now making two payments per tank as self-service
pumps cut out at £99.
“A potential ‘substantial’ cut in fuel duty, which we called for
weeks ago, cannot come soon enough. While the retailers keep
lobbing the price up, the rest of the nation is desperate to see
the price smashed.”
