BRITAIN’S filling stations are doing everything in their power to hold down pump prices as the summer approaches but costs are increasing, says the Petrol Retailers Association.
PRA chairman Brian Madderson said: “The oil market has rebounded strongly pushing up the wholesale cost of petrol by 8 pence per litre
“During this time the average retail price for petrol across the UK has only increased by just over 4ppl to 106ppl, so it is ludicrous for industry commentators to suggest that retailers are profiteering.
“I think we are now well on our way back to 110ppl.”
