Consumers are suffering from fuel price hikes at some motor stations

According to the study of a motoring group, there is a vast difference in fuel prices across the country and this is because some of the motor service stations charge more than others. Automobile Association (AA) has discovered the difference in their most recent research.

The average price of petrol is little more than 105p per litre but some motorway service stations charge more than 112.9p per litre for unleaded petrol. According to a website, the most expensive petrol in UK is 115.9p a litre.

The AA’s president, Edmund King said that commuters who go to the town can fill up their tanks there and long distance drivers should avoid their stops at expensive areas.

The average price of petrol at Asda was 102.1p per litre, the average price at Texaco was 106.1p per litre and the petrol price at BP was 105.7p a litre.

According to the AA, the consumers in the UK are not benefitting from the fall in the price of wholesale petrol. The wholesale price of the petrol was approximately £400 per tone in September that will be reduced upto £340 per tone by the end of the month.

Thus, the petrol prices should reduce by 3.5p per litre and the companies that use a fleet of vehicles for conducting businesses could use fuel cards and save even more money.
