'Raw deal' for UK drivers in petrol price rip-off despite record decreases

Recent analysis says that cash-strapped motorists are still getting a 'raw deal' at the pump, despite record price drops last month.

The RAC said that although average petrol prices sank to 169.8p per litre at the end of last month, but they should be humming around the 161p mark taking into account the current wholesale cost of fuel.

The 12.3p drop in average fuel prices marked the largest monthly drop in records - dating back 22 years - however, the fall in wholesale cost means that this 'only tells part of the story', according to the RAC.
