Closed Refer rural fuel prices to the Office of Fair Trading

Closed on

The price of petrol in rural parts of the UK can now be up to five pence more expensive per litre than petrol sold in urban areas.

Such high prices are having a considerable impact on the finances of rural households, who are often dependent upon cars to access work, school and public services.

The Government needs to ask the Office of Fair Trading to look into this disparity between rural and urban fuel prices, to ensure that the regional fuel market is fair to rural consumers.
