Motorway fuel pricing

The UK government plans to introduce signs on motorways that display the price of fuel at service stations to help promote competition and lower fuel prices. The Department of Transport will trial a fuel comparison sign at five service stations on the M5, with a view to introducing the signs by the end of 2015. The Office of Fair Trading found fuel sold on motorway services was on average 7.5p/l more expensive for petrol and 8.3p/l for diesel than across the country.
