Fuel prices at the pumps will be cheaper this Christmas – London Business News | Londonlovesbusiness.com

Drivers will enjoy the cheapest fuel this Christmas since Covid according to latest figures.

Diesel is not 12p and petrol is 10.5p cheaper which will be a substantial saving for motorists this December as many will be travelling to friends and family.

Those filling up a typical 55-litre tank will save £5.75 for petrol and £6.60 for diesel this Christmas.

RAC head of policy Simon Williams said: “While conditions are clearly better for drivers this Christmas than previous ones, we’re still conscious that prices at the pumps could be slightly cheaper if retailer margins were lower.

“Despite both petrol and diesel rising by a penny and two pence respectively in November, the difference to a year ago is considerable with petrol 10.5p lower and diesel 12p less.

“This is great news for people making long festive journeys to visit friends and families as it should save them around £6 on a tank of fuel compared to last year.”
