The latest report from the RAC detailed how this festive period is expected to be 'the most expensive ever' in terms of re-fueling.

RAC fuel spokesperson Simon Williams said: "With the cost-of-living crisis making this one of the toughest Christmases on record, it is even more galling to know drivers are being heartlessly overcharged for fuel making this the most expensive ever festive getaway on the roads.

"The big four supermarkets, which dominate UK fuel retailing, have robustly refused to significantly lower their forecourt prices to reflect what’s happened with the substantial reduction in the price of wholesale fuel that they are enjoying.

"We now have a bizarre situation where many smaller independent retailers are charging far less for their fuel than the supermarkets. The trouble is after years of the supermarkets being the cheapest place to fill up many drivers automatically assume this is still the case and may be losing out as a result.

"We urge the supermarkets to properly cut their petrol and diesel prices to give drivers the Christmas present they deserve."
