George Osborne has scrapped the 1.89 pence per litre fuel rise, formerly planned for September.
In today’s Budget, he said: “The Government has foregone 6 billion of revenue in fuel duty to date.
“I am cancelling this September’s fuel duty rise altogether. Petrol will now be 13 pence per litre cheaper [than it would have been with previously planned rises]
“That works out to £7 less every time you fill up a Vauxhall Astra or Ford Focus”
