Following the announcement made by Chancellor John Healey in the recent Budget, RAC senior policy officer Rod Dennis said: “While drivers may breathe a mild sigh of relief knowing that fuel duty isn’t about to suddenly go up, many are likely to be disappointed the Chancellor didn’t go further to support them – not least as the freeze is only in place until next summer.
"RAC research published recently showed nearly two-in-three regular drivers wanted cuts to duty or VAT on fuel, with a similar proportion now cutting back on other spending because of the high cost of fuel.
"A freeze only avoids making an already difficult situation worse – it doesn’t make filling up any cheaper. And it’s worth remembering that pump prices still soared this summer, despite fuel duty being at this very same reduced rate.
"Drivers will now have to hope for an easing of the international conflicts that have pushed up oil prices and disrupted fuel supplies if pump prices are to come down in a meaningful way.
