Drivers could see the price of a tank of petrol fall by as much as £10 within the next couple of weeks, the AA has predicted.
The price of petrol has already fallen slightly from the record highs seen earlier this year, with costs driven up in recent months by the war in Ukraine and sanctions imposed on Russian oil, as well as the surge in travelling after Covid restrictions were lifted. The average price for petrol is now 188.76p a litre down from 191.53p at the start of the month, while diesel has seen a small drop from 199.07 to 196.96p a litre, The Mirror reports .
The AA has said that motorists could soon see a fall in price - if the fuel trade passes on the savings. AA fuel price spokesman Luke Bodset said: “Wholesale petrol's trajectory, if sustained, would lead to savings of a tenner off a tank from the record highs, providing the fuel trade is prepared to pass them on.”
