UK Diesel Prices Remain Highest In Europe
Despite when the demand for fuel in the UK’s economy dropped, this country is still the most expensive country in the EU to buy diesel.
New figures from the Department of Energy and Climate Change (DECC) taken from the end of last year have shown that the consumption of transport fuels fell in the last quarter of 2012. Specifically, there was a 5.6% fall in petrol deliveries during this quarter whereas in reflection diesel purchasing rose 3.4%.
In total, approximately 4.5 billion litres of petrol was delivered (compared to this time 2011 where the figure was 4.77 billion litres), however the demand for diesel has increased to 6.52 billion litres when compared to 6.3 billion litres in 2011.
The average UK retail price for petrol was at 134.5ppl, making it the fifth highest price in the EU, as opposed to diesel prices which were 141.1ppl claiming the top spot of the most expensive diesel price in the EU, and of that figure, 58% of that price is accounted for by tax.
