The RAC has warned that people who fill their cars up with diesel could be paying far more at the pumps than they should. Diesel is being sold for around 17p a litre more on average than petrol at forecourts across the UK - despite wholesale prices for both fuels being virtually identical.
According to RAC Fuel Watch, the average price of a litre of petrol is 146.63p while diesel is priced at 164.26p typically. However, both fuels are selling for around 114.5p on the wholesale market, the RAC said.
RAC fuel spokesman Simon Williams described the fuel price disparity as "absolutely shocking" and warned of a big change in fuel retailing that has seen some independent forecourts charging far less than their supermarket rivals.

Mr Williams said: “At the beginning of March, wholesale diesel was only 6p more expensive than petrol yet there was a 20p-a-litre gap between both fuels on the forecourt. Now the two fuels are identical on the wholesale market, and there’s still more than 17p difference at the pump.”
He added that supermarket prices are traditionally around 4p cheaper than the UK average, meaning customers should have been seeing prices under 150p weeks ago.
Mr Williams said: "We are seeing many independent retailers charging far less than their supermarket rivals which is a sign of how much fuel retailing has changed. This would have been pretty unusual several years ago but is now rapidly becoming the norm.”
The RAC also highlighted membership-only chain Costco as bucking the trend, by charging just under 150p a litre for diesel.

Rosie Perez is speaking out.
Rosie Perez slides into a booth at an upscale Italian restaurant in Manhattan. She pushes up the sleeves on her wool sweater dress and settles in to talk about the state of Hollywood. And women in Hollywood. And Latinos in Hollywood. Or maybe that lack of cultural specificity in the homogeneous blob of film content that is created to appeal to the widest possible global audience. On this afternoon in early March, the Academy Awards are still dominating the conversation, and Perez, a supporting actress nominee for the 1993 drama “Fearless,” has some thoughts. “I think Brendan deserved the Oscar,” she says. “But I wouldn’t be mad if Colin had got it for ‘Banshees of Inisherin.’ He did something specific to his culture, right?
