The Road Haulage Association has welcomed a report conducted by the Post Office on the price of diesel in the UK, compared to the price across Europe. The average pump price for diesel stands as at £1.20 per litre, yet the pre-tax price is only 45 pence per litre.

RHA spokesperson Kate Gibbs commented,”This is an issue that we have been pushing to the top of the political agenda for a long time. Although the report focuses on the cost to the holidaymaker, they at least have the advantage of choosing a destination where the price of fuel may well be less than that paid here at home. As the report says, compared to the UK, they will be quids in wherever they drive in Europe”.

Ms Gibbs went onto say,”UK hauliers are providing an essential service yet they are seemingly being penalised. And to add insult to this particular injury, we are seeing more foreign hauliers on UK roads, their trucks filled with tanks of diesel fuel bought on the continent for a price that is considerably lower than their UK counterparts”.

Filling up with fuel in the UK can be a hit and miss experience when looking for the best fuel prices so it is always worth having at look at petrolprices.com which shows the best diesel fuel prices in your area.

PetrolPrices.com has joined forces with the Freight Transport Association (FTA) to try and stop the fuel duty rise that is anticipated next week. Many motorists, companies and haulage operators are finding times hard enough without seeing a further rise in fuel costs.

The FTA’s “Every Penny Counts” campaign is aiming to draw attention to the fuel duty rise looming from the 1st April.  Jo Tanner of the FTA said ” We’re delighted to have Petrolprices.com on board with the Every Penny Counts campaign”.

Louise Doherty of PetrolPrices.com commented ” A fuel tax hike doesn’t just hurt drivers, but small businesses, hauliers and everyone who is reliant on them. At a time of soaring unemployment and in the midst of a recession every penny really does count.”
