answer text <p>The cost of diesel is linked to wholesale costs and the global oil price. To support households and businesses, the government has frozen fuel duty for eight successive years. By April 2019, these freezes will have saved the average car driver £850 compared to the pre-2010 escalator.</p><p> </p><p>However, freezes since 2011 have meant the Exchequer has not collected around £46 billion in revenues through to 2018-19, and a further £38 billion will be foregone over the Budget forecast period as a result of these previously announced freezes.</p> more like this
