According to reports from around the UK, the
disruption at
petrol pumps should come to an end today, as tanker
drivers resume work. However, with petrol consistently more
expensive in the UK, would-be drivers may be reconsidering their
options.
Buying a car is an expensive commitment, whether you use
cash or
car finance . As well as the initial cost, monthly
repayments and
repair cost, drivers also need to front
car insurance and
road tax bills. With
fuel even more expensive, buying a
car is an even greater financial commitment.
The petrol pump shortages over the last few days have been the
result of a dispute between Unite and two
companies that carry Shell fuel. Meetings between concerned
parties are said to be helpful in resolving the dispute.
