Motorists are still getting a “raw deal” at the pumps despite a record petrol price drop last month, according to the RAC.
The average price of a litre of unleaded dipped below 170p (169.8p) at the end of August for the first time since May, with price cuts made by retailers in recent weeks resulting in the typical cost of filling a 55-litre petrol car falling from £100.16 at the start of the month to £93.39 at the end.
