uin	215876
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 01/12/2014 answer text <p>Wholesale fuel prices are fundamentally driven by crude prices. At the margin supply and demand factors for individual refined products will influence their prices.</p><p>Such factors are not necessarily the same for both petrol and diesel, which can lead to disparities in prices. For example, the UK produces more petrol than is demanded domestically, and this surplus puts downward pressure on the petrol price. In contrast, the UK is a net importer of diesel and so extra costs of importing such as transportation costs must be factored into diesel prices.</p><p>While petrol and diesel are taxed at differing rates in Ireland, they are currently treated equally for tax purposes in the UK.</p> answering member constituency West Suffolk answering member printed Matthew Hancock question first answered 01/12/2014 15:40:06 answering member 4070 label Biography information for Matt Hancock
