    Luckily our Prime Minister is now the motorist's friend. Am sure it will all be sorted in no time.

    I think Rishi mentioned, once or twice* on Laura Kunnesburg's programme last Sunday, that his party had reduced fuel duty by a record amount.
    *it was actually about 5 or 6 times, and not once was he asked a question about it.🙂
    Anyway, thank heavens there isn't a war on motorists on his watch.

    Average unleaded price:
    France: £1.71
    UK: £1.56

    Diesel price:
    France: £1.68
    UK: £1.61

    UK is actually nearly 30p a litre cheaper than the Netherlands.

    If you use the Bank of England's inflation calculator, fuel isn't much more expensive than it was in the 80s, comparatively speaking.
