Cheapest places to buy petrol and diesel in Cambridgeshire as prices reach three-year low
New figures have revealed that fuel prices across the UK are falling faster than at any other point in 2024 so far. It comes as the average cost of petrol and diesel has alternated over the last couple of years.
Average prices for fuel across UK forecourts are nearly 7p per litre cheaper than a month ago, which is their lowest level in almost three years. The cost of petrol per litre has fallen from 142.9p to 136.2p, while diesel has dropped from 147.7p to 140.9p.
The RAC said the fall in prices was due to a combination of a drop in oil prices to 73 US dollars per barrel as well as the strength of the pound against the US dollar. They said that the latter means UK fuel retailers get better value on the wholesale market.
