The prices of unleaded fuel and diesel are in a period of almost unprecedented stability, according to the latest Allstar Fuel report from fleet and fuel management company Arval PHH. It has found that since mid-August the prices of both diesel and unleaded have varied by less than a penny per litre from week to week – 77.50-78ppl for diesel and 76-77 ppl for unleaded.

“Given how many things can impact on the cost of a litre of fuel, four consecutive months when the price stays more or less the same is all but unheard of,” said Danny Clenaghan, Arval’s managing director of Fuel and Business Mobility.
