DRIVERS are still paying too much for their fuel, with retail margins ‘significantly’ above historic levels, according to a UK competition watchdog.

The Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) said that the fuel market is still ‘failing consumers’ a year on from its first report that exposed the problems in the sector.

It mentioned that retailers’ fuel margins – the difference between what they pay for their fuel and the price they sell it at – are ‘still significantly above historic levels”’

Increases in fuel margins cost drivers more than £1.6 billion in 2023 alone, with supermarkets’ fuel margins now approximately double what they were in 2019, according to the CMA.

The RAC motoring group said that drivers feel ‘ripped off’ by fuel retailers.
