PETROL prices have fallen but drivers are still being short-changed, according to the AA. Average petrol prices have gone down from 138.95p a litre in mid October to 135.08p now, with diesel dropping from 143.74p a litre to 141.89p. But the fall in wholesale petrol prices across Europe should have knocked UK pump prices down by 10p to 11p a litre, the AA said.

The study says January's rise could lead to 35,000 job losses and a 0.1% cut in economic growth. As a result of the predicted job losses and damage to growth, the tax hike would only bring in just over half the exp... Continue reading ...

THE GOVERNMENT’S 3p-a-litre rise in fuel duty planned for January could lead to 35,000 job losses, campaigners said today. The rise could also see a 0.1% cut in economic growth, the report prepared for the FairFuelUK group said. As a result of the job losses and damage to growth, the tax increase will only bring in just over half the expected extra tax revenue - £800 million rather than £1.5 billion, said the report.

better off if you live up North!
Let’s face it, there’s always been a bit of friendly rivalry between
the north and south of England, with each region believing it’s better
than the other. But now it seems that the divide has been taken one step
