Wholesale fuel costs have fallen substantially over the last six weeks, but the RAC says only a tiny proportion of retailers have cut their prices to accurately reflect this.

Based on the latest wholesale fuel prices, the motoring organisation estimates a “fair” price for petrol is 174p per litre, while diesel should be around 189p per litre.
