Wonderful news for workers!


UK petrol prices are at their lowest level for three years, according to a new survey of the nation's forecourts.

The AA said in mid-March the average pump price was 129.46p per litre, which is down 6.47% on the same time last year when the average for petrol was 138.42p.

The motorists group added that recent wholesale cuts might see a further drop for petrol of 2p a litre.

It added that diesel prices are at their lowest level for nearly two years.

It said diesel-users on average were paying 136.59p in mid-March - the lowest since July 2012.

On Wednesday, the Chancellor announced in his Budget that the September fuel duty rise would not be brought in.

The AA said that the cheapest fuel prices were in Yorkshire and the Humber, with the most expensive in Northern Ireland.

The West Midlands and London were best for diesel at 136.3p while Scotland was the most expensive, where motorists on average were charged 1p more a litre, according to the AA.
