UK drivers 'pay far less in Europe'

UK holidaymakers driving to Europe are likely to pay significantly less at the pump this year due to the relative strength of the pound, a report has found.

Tourists from the UK could pay up to 8.6% less for unleaded petrol in Europe than they would have done a year ago, and diesel fuel could be as much as 10.4% cheaper, due to the power of sterling against European currencies, Post Office Travel Money's Motoring on the Continent report said.
