Pump prices too high

-

SUPERMARKE­TS are “taking advantage” of drivers by charging “far higher” fuel prices than they should be, a motoring services company has said.

The RAC accused the UK’s biggest fuel retailers of refusing to lower their pump prices despite a drop in wholesale costs. It said supermarke­ts’ profit margins are around 15p per litre for petrol and diesel. This means customers are being charged an “unnecessar­ily high” average price of 161.0p per litre for petrol and 184.4p for diesel.
