A new report, from specialist commercial motor insurance broker Staveley Head, has revealed that there are SIX countries where it’s dearer to buy petrol than here in the UK.
However, as a percentage of monthly income expenditure on petrol, only four countries appear higher in the table than the UK.
According to their study, fuel in the UK has an average price of 142.48p per litre for petrol and 147.88p per litre for diesel.
Staveley Head add that the planned increase in fuel duty in August will mean a leap from seventh in the world to fourth at current prices.
