How to find the cheapest petrol and diesel near you<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\u201cJust as we head into one of the busiest times of the year on the roads, RAC data shows the average price of petrol has fallen to its lowest for more than two years,\u201d said RAC fuel spokesman Simon Williams.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is good news for drivers, especially as prices should continue to come down in the run-up to Christmas due to the wholesale price being significantly lower. While the biggest retailers haven\u2019t announced any headline-grabbing big cuts, prices are falling steadily every day which is encouraging. We just have to hope this continues in the coming days.<\/p>\n
\u00a0\u201cIf wholesale prices are reflected more fairly at the pumps, we should see the average price of petrol drop below 140p in the next week.\u201d<\/p>\n
Sadly the news for diesel drivers is less encouraging, as the current price per litre of 150.29p was 6p lower in August this year. However, diesel remains a lot cheaper this Christmas than last, when drivers were coughing up 175p a litre.<\/p>\n
Hopefully for now, the summer 2022 price peaks of 191.5p for petrol and 199.09p for diesel are a distant \u2013 if painful \u2013 memory.<\/p>\n
