Fuel prices drive inflation up

Rising fuel costs have been picked out as one of the main drivers behind a higher than expected rise in British inflation.According to the Telegraph, increased levies imposed by the government - which have taken pump costs to record highs - helped drive the Office for National Statistics' Consumer Price Index up by 0.6 per cent in March, with the weakness of the pound against other major currencies another contributing factor.VAT's return to 17.5 per cent is also thought by economists to have been a contributing factor to inflation growing quicker than anticipated, with the year-on-year rise of 3.4 per cent around 0.3 percentage points greater than experts had forecast.Speaking earlier in April, Edmund King, president of the AA, claimed that "soaring pump prices have fuelled inflation in recent months", with research from his organisation suggesting 67 per cent of drivers polled were cutting back on car use.Find out more about the BP fuel card and start saving now.

Brown's speech offers nothing for Fleet operators

Gordon Brown's speech to the Labour Party conference today contained nothing to offer hope to hard-pressed Fleet operators, according to The Fuelcard People. Steve Clarke, general manager of The Fuelcard People, said: "Fleets have seen fuel costs rocket under Mr. Brown, but this vital industry seems less important to the prime minister than trying to save his job. Losing three by-elections and four junior ministers this year should be enough to tell him that people want effective action, now, to improve the economic situation. In particular, Fleet operators want something done about the price of fuel, which is such a key element in their operating costs. Even a temporary cut in the high rate of fuel duty would help." Steve Clarke has better insight than most into the concerns of Fleets, as his company talks to them constantly, every day. "They contact The Fuelcard People initially to find which fuel card offers the best combination of savings, service and security for their business," he said, "but it is not long before they begin to vent their frustrations about lack of government assistance for their industry. We are equally frustrated, because we can always help them to find the best fuel card, but saving a typical 2p to 3p per litre on the national average pump price ant around 10p at motorway service areas does not remove the cause of their problems." www.TheFuelcardPeople.co.uk is one of the few fuel card companies able to offer truly impartial, independent advice, offering a broad choice of cards from leading brands including BP, Esso, Shell, Texaco, Diesel Direct (Keyfuels) and ReD. the fuelcard people, about us, You'll like the fuel card people.
