FUEL PRICE REPORT AUGUST 2012
_________________________________
Petrol and diesel pump prices across the UK have risen by around 2.5% in the past month after oil prices continued to rise from a summer low of $90 a barrel to $114 at present.
Tighter supermarket competition has limited some of the impact for now, but substantial wholesale price increases point to even higher prices if the
trend continues.
Unleaded prices have risen by 3.3ppl from 132.2ppl to 135.5ppl. Diesel prices have risen by 3.1ppl from 137.3ppl to 140.4ppl. The price difference between unleaded and diesel has fallen to 4.9ppl.
East Anglia recorded the highest price for unleaded at 136.1ppl. Yorkshire and Humberside recorded the lowest price for unleaded at 135.0ppl. The South West and Wales recorded the highest diesel price at 140.9ppl.
Yorkshire and Humberside has the cheapest diesel at 140.0ppl.
Supermarket prices for unleaded rose by 3.2ppl to 133.0ppl. The gap between supermarket prices and the UK average for unleaded has risen to 2.5ppl.
The UK has the eighth highest petrol price in Europe and the highest diesel price.
Filled up at a service station in France only yesterday with unleaded, but seemed on a parr with prices here, we are over a barrel if you want to use the car you have to pay the prices all be it that we look around for the cheapest.
