It is being reported that across the UK average prices have dropped for unleaded from 129p to around 127p per litre. Whilst this might sound like a small reduction, we at Car Articles firmly believe anything that is a step in the right direction is a welcome move. That being said, what is of concern […]
If you have been to the pumps recently, you’ll know that whether you’re a petrol or diesel driver you can’t get away from the massively high prices. If you are lucky enough to still be getting fuel at least than 120p per litre than you are doing ok. We’ve heard stories of fuel on some […]
As UK drivers enjoy a drop in fuel prices at the pumps, there’s been a subtle change to the nation’s car shopping habits. While monthly expenditure on fuel is falling, data from Motors.co.uk shows an increase in vehicle searches by monthly payment – with a 78% rise in searches by a monthly payment amount of £0-£300. And, […]
New research from the What Car? True MPG team confirms that drivers who need to put in extra miles to visit family and friends over the holidays could face hidden costs. A recent test on a selection of popular vehicles shows that fuel efficiency can be cut by more than 7% when cars are driven with four occupants […]
Morrisons have cut diesel prices for the second time in a fortnight, making them on par with, or lower, than petrol in some areas. The Morrisons price cut makes diesel cheaper than petrol for the first time in a staggering 14 years. Fuel duty was frozen again by George Osborne in the recent budget. Even […]

Both Asda and Tesco have confirmed that a small price decrease would be apparent to fuel (in the region of 2p for petrol and 1p per litre for diesel) in the coming days. This has been welcomed by some as oil prices have recently stabilised yet no direct reduction has seen by consumers on forecourts. […]
This is another report on the efficacy or not of diesel engines. I would have thought that, by now, it was common knowledge that you need to run a car for at least 10,000 miles in a given year in order to recoup the cost of a more expensive diesel engined car purchase. Not to […]
Fuel, both pricing and use, has never been more in the public eye or on the government agenda. Almost every day we read something new about what’s more polluting, how costs are rising (falling is rather rare unfortunately), how we should all be in 100 mile per gallon environment savers and much more. With this […]
The past few years have really, really been tough on the motorist. We’ve been hit with some of the hardest fuel hikes we’ve seen in a long time as well as with rising car tax and the ever increasing congestion on our roads. But it’s not all bad – is it? Of course not. Here’s […]
