UK petrol prices sink to 131.9p a litre — but the savings may not last
UK petrol prices have slipped to their lowest point since July 2021, the RAC reported, with drivers now paying an average of 131.91 pence per litre. That’s down from 137.17p at the start of December, following a drop of over 3p in January. Diesel prices average 140.97p. The move offers motorists relief early in the year, particularly commuters and small businesses that struggle to reduce mileage. Fuel costs also push up delivery charges and fares, hitting everyday expenses fast.
