Fuel duty rises at midnight
Tax on fuel will rise at midnight tonight, creating a total increase in fuel prices of 2.3p pet litre.
Average UK fuel prices have already risen to 105p per litre, with Twydall’s Somerfield garage currently setting prices at 105.9p.
This is the third fuel duty increase in nine months, with fuel prices again set to rise at the end of the year, when VAT returns to 17.5%.
Motorists’ groups are saying that the increases are badly-timed, with the AA saying that the timing was ‘pretty dire’.
