Original Note:
This is a huge overstatement. Fuel duty is frozen in nominal terms. In real terms, it’s being cut by just 1.5p a litre (2.3% inflation x 52.95p fuel duty rate + 20% VAT). The average UK car uses 746 litres a year, so would save £11 a year, not “hundreds of pounds”. https://www.nimblefins.co.uk/cheap-car-insurance/average-cost-petrol-car
