A government body has issued an alert to all motorists concerning the price of fuel. The Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) released new data showing ‘concerning’ information about prices at the pumps across the country.

Dan Turnbull, Senior Director of Markets at the CMA, said: “Drivers are feeling the pinch as fuel prices have been edging up since January. We’re particularly concerned by high margins which indicate weakened competition and are not a good sign for drivers.

"The average price for a litre of petrol across the Yorkshire region this week is 149.2p."
