Fuel continues to be pricey for business and domestic use
ACCORDING to the latest update from the Office for National Statistics (ONS), as shared in the latest article by Katie Allen on the Guardian Online, petrol prices fell by 1.8p a litre between July and August 2014.
This has been directly compared to last year’s 2p increase, which reflects a big change since 2013.
Could the government’s long term economic objectives be working to manage inflation?
There is evidence that inflation has fallen dramatically since reaching its pinnacle height since 2011 but there’s no hiding that inflation is still a problem.
Fuel prices are still much higher than the average wage growth, so in real terms, the price of petrol continues to be pricey for both business and domestic use.
