More filling stations are reducing prices to make the cost of living slightly easier for individuals and businesses.
Griffiths Garage, Leintwardine, is one of the cheapest filling stations in the regionnobody should be selling unleaded for more than £1.73However, an RAC study found that just 10 per cent of more than 4,500 UK forecourts are charging a fair price, with the vast majority of these being independently owned sites rather than major fuel retailers.
The automotive group analysed data from Experian Catalist and has stated that retailers should charge around 174p per litre of unleaded, rather than the current average of 188p. RAC fuel spokesman Simon Williams said: “In this most expensive of summers, drivers need all the help they can get to keep their spending down so we applaud those retailers who are doing the right thing for their customers and charging a fair price for petrol and diesel, more in line with the lower wholesale costs.
“Weekly wholesale petrol prices – that’s the price retailers pay to buy the fuel – have fallen by a massive 17p a litre, from a weekly average of around 152p at the start of June to just 135p this week. Yet average pump prices have reduced by a paltry 4p. It’s time for every retailer to do the right thing and cut their prices to more reasonable levels."
