Brown urged to freeze fuel duty

Petrol retailers have called for a freeze on fuel duty to help reduce forecourt prices even further.

The cost of petrol is 9% less than three months ago as oil prices plummeted to their lowest level for a year, according to the AA.

This offers consumers a modicum of comfort during the turbulent financial situation, with a 50-litre refill now £5.33 cheaper than when unleaded reached a record high of 119.7p on July 17.
