British motorists last month faced the highest road fuel costs this year as global oil prices continue to creep higher from historic lows, The Telegraph reports.
The cost of unleaded petrol and diesel rose for a second consecutive month to drive the average price of diesel the highest level for the year so far, while petrol ended the month only slightly shy of 2016 highs.
Fresh data from motor group RAC found that the average price of diesel at the pumps rose 0.42p during September to reach 113.34p a litre, its highest price this year.
Pensions
More than 300,000 pension savers a year are being left to fend for themselves when they retire, says the TUC.
It claims that over 80 per cent of people using their pension pot to buy a retirement income get no proper advice about it. The TUC is basing its figures on what happened in the year following the ‘pension freedoms’, first introduced in April 2015.
