If you drive, it might be a good idea to fill up sometime between tonight and the 4th January when two price rises will take effect adding around 3.5p to every litre of fuel.
Luckily the VAT increase from 17.5% to 20% doesn’t come into effect until the 4th January so those travelling to and from family should be able to get home before the increase. The fuel duty increase will take effect from tonight so motorists might see an increase of around 1p litre due to the way petrol stations calculate prices.
So if you’re travelling, maybe best make sure you fill up now especially as everyone else is going to be queuing at the last minute on the evening of the 3rd.
