Petrol prices climb to new records despite dip in oil prices (City A.M.)

Petrol prices hit a new record yesterday, despite a fortnight of falling wholesale costs, triggering intense criticism from UK motoring groups.

And yet, the average price of petrol across the UK hasn’t even levelled out. He said: “Since the Jubilee, the wholesale cost of petrol has fallen. It has continued to rise to new records. If forecourts don’t start to lower petrol prices this week, it will be a disgrace.” This time last week it had reached 190.92p and was trading at 133.47p a litre in forecourts this time last year. On Sunday, the average pump petrol price reached 188.70p a litre – having cost 185.04p a week ago and 131.10p this time last year.

Commuters switching to cars face record UK petrol prices to fill up (The Guardian)

As average price of petrol hits 188.7p a litre, rail strike in Great Britain means many people have to drive.

“We strongly hope the extent of the rises seen in both fuels will finally force the government to take action to ease the burden on drivers by further cutting duty or lessening the punishing impact of VAT, which currently accounts for 31p a litre on petrol – 6p more than it was before the Ukraine war began.” The average price of a litre of petrol hit 188.7p on Sunday after five weeks of relentless record prices when the price has jumped 23p from the 165.5p of mid-May. A full tank of petrol for a 55-litre family car now costs £103.79, while the diesel equivalent is £107.83, the RAC said.

UK petrol and diesel prices: retailers continue to push up prices ... (AutoExpress)

But looking at the wholesale cost of petrol, which has settled due the oil price falling, petrol pump prices really should not continue to rise; if anything, ...

However the fact that we get a higher percentage of diesel from Russia than petrol means the advantage has swung the other way again. In fact, arguably it is much easier from a delivery point of view than it is getting fuel to urban filling stations.” Supermarket forecourts usually offer the cheapest fuel prices and this is because of the market power supermarkets hold. Part of the problem is down to the fact that relatively low barrel prices in recent years have put plans to drill for new reserves on hold. This has forced the UK to import diesel from other countries at a greater rate than petrol. Currently, the Treasury adds 57.95 pence to each litre of fuel through fuel duty, and another 20 per cent through VAT. How much you pay in VAT depends on how much fuel you purchase. There are persistent rumours that supermarket fuel contains fewer additives and is of lesser quality than fuel from traditional forecourts, but there’s little hard evidence of this. The wholesale cost is a combination of currency exchange rates, global oil prices, and even domestic supply and demand. Retailers hit back at the news, though, claiming to have been “unfairly scapegoated” for the price rises and arguing that the 5p saving had been passed on. And yet, the average price of petrol across the UK hasn’t even levelled out. Gordon Balmer, executive director of the Petrol Retailers Association, commented: “The briefings provided by Government spokespeople to the media indicate that ministers do not understand how fuel prices are set. It costs £103.79 to fill a family car’s typical 55-litre fuel tank with petrol and £107.83 with diesel.

'Disgrace!' The cost of fuel rises again despite falling wholesale costs (Daily Express)

The cost of petrol increased by a further 4.6p since June 14, while the price of diesel rose by 4.4p. This is despite the wholesale costs of fuel falling ...

“Prices at the pumps are ticking higher almost every day, piling huge pressure on the Government to do something to ease the strain. The Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) is also investigating and a timely intervention by them could bring prices down quicker than they rose. “There does still seem to be considerable variation in what is being charged on different forecourts with accusations of profiteering rife, meaning people should absolutely check prices before they head out to fill up if possible. This vicious cycle could help tip the UK into recession in a matter of months. This will hit those on the lowest incomes disproportionately. James Andrews, personal finance expert at Money.co.uk, added: "This is a hammer blow for the lowest paid. But spare a thought for the millions of people who will be fighting to get to jobs they can’t do from home. Drivers can now expect to pay on average 188.70p for a litre of petrol and 196.06 for a litre of fuel. “That is over a period that the oil industry says is long enough for changes in costs to start to be reflected at the pump. The cost of petrol increased by a further 4.6p since June 14, while the price of diesel rose by 4.4p. This is despite the wholesale costs of fuel falling for the past two weeks.

Fuel prices hit record highs again over the weekend | RAC Drive (RAC)

This past weekend (18-19th June), saw petrol and diesel prices reach record highs – as the trend of the ever increasing cost of fuel continues.

And what can the government do to help tackle the issue? Considering everything that is going on in the motoring sector in recent months, what do you think the future holds for the fuel crisis? A report is expected in the coming weeks. Sadly though, diesel looks destined to head rapidly towards an average of £2 a litre which would make a full tank £110. More than five weeks of successive record prices has caused a litre of unleaded to rocket 23p from 165.5p in mid-May. 12th June

And even though there is a reduction in taxation by the government the price is 50 cents more expensive per liter since the start of the year both for gasoline and diesel.
