PRA responds to RAC comments on Potential Fuel Duty Rise in October Budget  

PRA 29/08/2024

Responding to the RAC's comments regarding a potential fuel duty rise in the October budget, Gordon Balmer,
Executive Director of the Petrol Retailers Association (PRA), said:
 
 

 "For background, the PRA has been transparent with the Government on this issue and has offered

  to meet with the RAC, but this offer has not yet been accepted. For motorists looking to find the 

  cheapest fuel in their area, I recommend visiting petrolprices.com.

 

 "We hope the Chancellor will protect motorists by ruling out unnecessary increases to fuel prices.

 

 "Retailers are working hard to keep fuel prices as low as possible in a fiercely competitive market.

  Any government-driven increases at the pump would raise costs for both businesses and motorists, further fuelling inflation."
