Difference between price per litre is 'scandalous' given similar wholesale costs, RAC says.
Diesel is being sold for about 17p per litre more on average than petrol, despite wholesale costs falling to similar levels, a motoring group said.
The RAC, which tracks and campaigns on fuel prices, said diesel wholesale prices had fallen and were now the same as petrol on average. When prices change in the wholesale market, they can take time to feed through to changes at the pumps, due to how frequently smaller sellers restock. However, the British Retail Consortium, which represents supermarkets, said: "Retailers understand the cost pressures facing motorists and will do everything they can to offer the best value-for-money across petrol forecourts."
