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.

  • Ford (F) Slips as Recalls Weigh on Stock, Quality Scores Up
    June 29, 2026, 5:54 PM EDT. Ford Motor Company shares slipped 0.7% to $14.02, lagging behind the S&P 500's 1.7% jump and a 2.4% rise in Consumer Discretionary stocks. The automaker's J.D. Power initial-quality score improved 21% to 152 problems per 100 vehicles, leading mass-market brands, but investors saw little lift with 51 recalls so far this year. The average analyst price target is at $14.78, around 5% above where the stock now trades, with most analysts stuck at Hold. The split reaction signals many doubt recent quality gains are enough to outweigh recall issues.
