The price of fuel should have fallen 4p a litre but hasn't because of greedy retailers, it has been claimed. Despite the UK being in the grip of a cost-of-living crisis, a reduction in fuel duty of 5p in March and a recent fall in wholesale prices of oil hasn't been passed onto motorists, said the AA.
A new record price of 191.5p a litre was set on Sunday. Motoring services companies accused retailers of acting too slowly and not going far enough with price cuts.
Luke Bosdet, the AA’s fuel price spokesman, told The Telegraph : “Even commentators in the fuel trade say that their pump prices should be falling 4p in the next few days."
