Fury over 'rip-off' fuel prices which are hitting drivers in their pockets while retailers benefit from 'unfair' margins - as RAC calls for crackdown on firms charging motorists too much

www.dailymail.co.uk, May 16, 2024
The RAC has called for a crackdown on firms charging motorists too much as fuel prices hit drivers in their pockets and retailers benefit from 'unfair margins'. In a letter to Energy Secretary Claire Coutinho, the RAC has called for the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) to be given the power to take 'meaningful action' against companies charging too much for petrol and diesel. It comes as the average retailer margin - the difference between the amount they pay for fuel and the pump price - has been above 18p per litre for diesel since May 7 and is nearly 12p per litre for petrol, RAC head of policy Simon Williams wrote. The long-term average for both fuels is 8p and Mr Williams has called the current margins 'extremely unfair on drivers struggling to get by in the cost-of-living crisis'. One motorist told Good Morning Britain the impact prices are having on driving to school, she said: 'It's costing me like £40 to do the school runs for a week so it's a bit ridiculous.'

Drivers are being stung at the pumps by fuel retailers unfairly hiking profit margins, Energy Secretary warned

The average retailer profit margin - the difference between the amount they pay for fuel and the price they charge at forecourts - has been above 18p per litre for diesel since 7 May and is nearly 12p per litre for petrol, analysis has revealed. Pre-pandemic, average margins were around just 8p a litre. It comes as the Government is ironing out the finer details of its 'PumpWatch' scheme, which would see all filling stations across the UK legally required to share real-time price information within half an hour of increasing or lowering them. In a letter sent to Energy Secretary Claire Coutinho this week, the RAC said the competition watchdog must be given the power to take 'meaningful action' against fuel companies overcharging driver for petrol and diesel.

Drivers being 'seriously overcharged' with fuel prices soaring by 10p a litre on average in the last year

www.dailymail.co.uk, May 4, 2024
Drivers are being 'seriously overcharged' as average fuel prices have risen by 10p a litre this year. The average price of a litre of petrol increased by 3p to 150p in April alone, the RAC said. Average diesel prices rose by 2p per litre to 157.8p last month. Wholesale oil prices have risen a little this year, and the exchange rate is not currently favourable for imports to Britain.
