Anyone who drives a diesel van or car is being ripped off, according to breakdown experts at the RAC.
The RAC says wholesale prices of petrol and diesel have fallen by 10p in the past four weeks alone, but it's led to a cut of just 3p per litre on forecourts. But retailers are failing to pass on savings to customers, especially on diesel, instead choosing to increase profit margins.
This comes despite a 5p Fuel Duty freeze being extended for another year in the Budget. According to RAC figures, retailers are making 19p on every litre of diesel they are selling - twice what they made in 2022 and nearly three times as much as the year before.
