The cheapest petrol in each Greater Manchester borough as drivers hit with record monthly fuel cost rise
The data shows that the average cost of a litre of fuel in the UK rose by 16.6p last month - a rise from 174.8p to 191.4p. It's the highest recorded monthly increase since 2000.
The organisation’s fuel spokesman Simon Williams said: “The rate at which pump prices have been rising over the last four weeks is hard to comprehend. Not a day in June went by when petrol prices didn’t go up, even though the price retailers pay to buy in fuel went down. “Perhaps it has something to do with the fact that it’s benefiting significantly from the increased VAT revenue caused by the high prices. We badly need the Government to go beyond just vague words and instead actually implement a clear package of financial support to show they’re on the side of drivers.”
“The Tories need to act urgently and tackle the profiteering of petrol giants, and ensure retailers pass on fuel duty cuts to consumers, to put money back in people’s pockets.”
