How fuel prices are formed

Free market

Changes daily

~60% Taxes and levies

Regulator

Competition and Markets Authority; Department for Energy Security and Net Zero

Free market, but CMA oversight intensified in 2023-2026 due to weak pass-through of wholesale declines to retail. From 2 February 2026, mandatory station reporting to Fuel Finder requires price updates within 30 minutes. Price depends on Platts, GBP/USD and fuel duty.

Taxes and levies

Fuel duty 52.95 pence/litre, VAT 20%, renewable fuel obligations.

Subsidies

No direct subsidies; the 5p fuel duty cut has been extended to 31 August 2026, effectively acting as indirect support.

Plan for more Gypsy and Traveller pitches in Rhondda Cynon Taf

Rhondda Cynon Taf Council is considering expanding the Beddau caravan site by nine pitches as part of a plan to meet the need for Gypsy and Traveller accommodation. A cabinet report recommends proceeding with phase one, which includes a site office and play area, and submitting a planning application. The council's Gypsy and Traveller Accommodation Assessment for 2022–2027 identified a need for 22 additional pitches by 2027 and five more by 2037. If approved, the expansion will be funded through Welsh Government grants or the existing affordable housing budget.
