Major Oil Companies Pass on Fuel Duty Reductions

UKPIA refutes the claims made in some misinformed press articles today, which infer the major oil companies are failing to pass on fuel duty cuts announced by the Chancellor yesterday Dr Mike Frend, Director General of the Association, said "Our members yesterday issued press releases detailing their support for the Chancellor's measures and implemented the duty reductions at the pump from 6pm onwards at their company owned sites.

Reports that major oil companies are now failing to pass on duty reductions through their own service stations networks appear highly unfounded.

Dr Frend added, "The refining and marketing companies that comprise UKPIA have responded magnificently to the challenge of introducing cleaner petrol and diesel in the UK, four years and six years, respectively, ahead of the EU timetable.
