Those who work in HGV jobs will know how important it is to try and maintain fuel prices. They will also understand that those who work in driver jobs need to try and make sure that fuel prices stay as steady as possible and this is also something that driver recruitment agencies need to take into account as well. The problem with the rising fuel prices is that medium-sized cars are now going to start taking up around 57 litres of fuel in their tank and this is going to cost them £75 upwards.
This has gone up by well over £8 when compared to August a couple of years ago and at this point, the cost was at a low of around 110.8p per litre. Diesel has also gone up by £9 as well and this is for a tank of the same size. This is compared to August 2016 and this is when costs were 111.9p per litre.

The increase of prices is said to be putting over one in five potential drivers off driving and this could mean bad news for the HGV industry. 13% are going to have to stop filling their car up on a regular basis and this could cause serious problems.

So the constant rise in fuel cost really is having an impact and now some people can't even afford to drive. As if that wasn't enough, over 16% of motorists are saying that the cost of fuel is making it so they cannot own a car at all. Advisors have suggested that drivers use way more fuel in comparison to services and this makes it even harder for people to get their money's worth. Some people are feeling the hit of the cost already, not to mention how hard it's going to be when the prices go up.
