According to RAC, Fuel retailers are making a 'shocking' 19p a litre profit after failing to pass on oil price cuts. Filling a typical 55-litre family car with petrol or diesel is around £19 more expensive compared with 12 months ago.

Keeping in mind the failure of fuel retailers to pass on wholesale price cuts there should be a debate in parliament on the subject of establishing establish an independent pricing watchdog. As stated by FairFuelUK "If gas, electricity, water and telecoms get price protection bodies, why shouldn't motorists have one too?" This would be similar to existing consumer watchdogs such as Ofgem, Ofcom and Ofwat, in order to protect (the) UK's 37 million drivers."
