Drivers could be paying more for petrol and diesel than they should be, watchdog warns
Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) unveils persistently high profit margins for petrol and diesel despite falling pump prices. The government gears up for a "fuel finder" initiative to help drivers compare real-time fuel costs in a bid to boost competition. CMA challenges retailers' claims of rising operating costs, emphasizing the need for increased competition to ensure fair fuel prices for consumers.
