Decrease in the Consumption of Transport Fuels
The total consumption of transport fuels in the UK has decreased by 4.5% in the first quarter of 2013 compared to the first quarter of 2012 according to the Department for Energy and Climate Change (DECC) have shown.
According to the statistics, unleaded petrol deliveries fell 9.8% and diesel deliveries have increased just 0.6% compared to the same quarter in 2012. It is thought that the reduction of deliveries in the first part of this year was due to the threatened tanker drivers’ strike in March last year, leading to a higher demand than normal in 2012.
The total deliveries of diesel in 2013’s first quarter was just over 6.25 billion litres, and of that 3.86 billion litres were supplied to retail forecourts and 2.38 billion litres were bulk fuel deliveries.
