'It's bordering on a scandal'
A UK motoring organisation has blamed the big four supermarkets for high prices at the pumps. According to the RAC, prices should be 14p-a-litre lower than they are currently set. The group added that despite the average price of petrol and diesel falling by 6p-a-litre in November, the reductions on the forecourts should have been at least twice that.
A litre of unleaded bought at a supermarket costs 158.31p – down 6p in the month – but now only 1.6p lower than the UK average. Supermarket diesel at the end of November was down 3.7p to 182.74p, only a penny below the average price across the country. Long-term RAC data shows that both fuels are normally 3.5p cheaper when bought at a supermarket.
“This sadly seems to be a thing of the past as nowadays they appear to be hanging on to massive margins for dear life. This is to the detriment of everyone because, of course, other retailers won’t be encouraged to reduce their prices meaning the UK average stays artificially high.
