RAC fuel spokesman Simon Williams said: "We feel there should be an obligation on retailers to reflect wholesale price movements on their forecourts. Williams added: "Action at a government level is badly needed to stop drivers being ripped off any longer." Despite the cost of diesel being high, it is slightly cheaper on average at supermarkets with it being 2.75p cheaper than the national average price.
