| The great petrol rip-off |

UK motorists are paying far more for their fuel than drivers in the major European vehicle-owning countries, according to a new survey. A poll by uSwitch says UK drivers have had to pay more for petrol and diesel throughout this decade. While Britons were paying £1.19 a litre for petrol last month, Spanish drivers were only being charged 96p, the survey found. Petrol and diesel was also cheaper in Germany, France and Italy, with diesel in Spain at £1 a litre compared with £1.33 a litre in the UK. The annual average cost of petrol per person in the UK - based on last month's prices - was around £1,752, compared with just £1,409 in Spain. The survey showed that since 2000, UK drivers have consistently paid 20 per cent more for their petrol and diesel compared with drivers of the other four countries polled.       |
