The government has pledged to ‘out’ rip off fuel sellers by forcing them to proved up to date information on what prices they’re offering
. including supermarkets.
The change means motorists will be able to easily compare fuel prices in real time to choose the best prices whilst boosting competition and in turn driving down prices. The Government took action after watchdog finds some supermarkets charged drivers 6p more per litre for fuel from 2019 to 2022 – meaning £900m in extra costs across the UK in 2022 alone.
The tough action by government follows publication of a Competitions and Markets Authority report today showing some supermarkets charged drivers 6p more per litre for fuel. This amounts to £900m in extra costs in 2022 alone - around £75m a month.
