Petrol sales slump ? Our viewpoint Autos Articles | October 15 Morgan Rielly Leafs Jersey , 2012 Petrol sales have fallen by over 500 million in the spring of 2012.??Cab4one explains how we save fuel by adopting best-practice driving techniques.
With fuel prices falling during the spring of this year, one would be forgiven for expecting the amount of petrol and diesel sold to go up.
?
But new figures from the Department of Energy and Climate Change tell quite a different story.
?
Almost 500 million fewer litres of petrol were sold between April and June 2012 then in the same period last year.
?
The drop is even more substantial compared to figures for the same period in 2008 - the last period before the UK slid into recession ? when two billion more litres of petrol were sold.
?
The AA?s president Edmund King said the fall amounted to a ?crash in demand?, not only in the second quarter of 2012 but over the past five years and blamed the fuel industry for ?trying to squeeze more money? out of motorists.
?
"A 10.6% fall in petrol sales this past quarter is a huge drop.
?
"While we welcome the fact that new cars have become more fuel-efficient, this goes nowhere near to accounting for the crash in demand over the past three months and the past five years Frederik Andersen Leafs Jersey ,? Mr King said.
?
He claims the price at the pumps fell by up to 10p between April and June for petrol, from a record high of ￡1.42 a litre to ￡1.31 a litre.
?
While lower petrol prices are good for a company such as cab4one, we believe changing your driving style to become more fuel efficient will ultimately save motorists more money.?
