  Fuel prices should be 3p lower as oil prices fall 28 Jul 2016 (News)
  .   The wholesale oil price is now at its lowest level since early May – around $43 a barrel – however; pump prices have remained largely static during this time, at around 112p on average per litre and with some motorway services charging as much as 127p-per-litre. Fuel prices have continued to rise since the winter of 2015, when average unleaded prices hit a low of 101p. A 3p-per-litre reduction in the cost of unleaded now would save a driver roughly one pound when filling up a car with a 50 litre tank. “We would hope that retailers are not taking advantage of public perceptions that fuel prices would rise following the Brexit vote last month, as the wholesale market is clearly showing a downward trend in prices right now," said RAC fuel spokesman Simon Williams.
