Fuel Prices Rise for Festive Season

UK drivers face the highest fuel prices in four years as hundreds of drivers took to the main roads for Christmas.

Prices at motorway service stations could even outstrip the cost at supermarket refilling stations.

This comes after travel chaos struck the UK on so-called “frantic Friday”, when the last of the year’s commuter traffic clashed with the festive getaway.

On the M40, there were major traffic jams in both directions after a lorry carrying beer caught fire on the southbound carriageway near Bicester, Oxfordshire.

Merry Christmas and safe driving from Britannia!
