FUEL PRICE REPORT JANUARY 2009
UK petrol prices have started to rise again after falling to less than 86 PencePerLitre in early January. Conflict in Gaza and the dispute between Russia and the Ukraine helped to push the price of oil back above $50 for a while and the weakening pound has contributed to higher wholesale prices.
Unleaded prices have fallen by 2.9 ppl from 89.5ppl to 86.6ppl. Diesel prices have fallen by 3.2ppl, from 101.9ppl to 98.7ppl. The price difference between unleaded and diesel has fallen from 12.4ppl to 12.1ppl
London, East Anglia and the South West recorded the highest price for unleaded at 87ppl.
The North West recorded the lowest price for unleaded at 86.1ppl. Wales recorded the highest diesel price at 99.3ppl. Yorkshire and Humberside have the cheapest diesel at 98.1ppl.
Supermarket prices for unleaded also fell over the month by 4ppl to 84.3ppl. The gap between supermarket prices and the UK average for unleaded has risen to 2.3ppl.
Overseas prices have also fallen. The UK has the thirteenth highest unleaded price in Europe and the fifth highest diesel price.
End.
*****************************
The UK average is 86.6 pence per litre so taking into account Vic's quote above this morning Dover well higher than the UK average.
