Fuel discount bid for remote areas

Petrol pumps and other fuel retailers in remote areas in Britain have been asked to let the Government know how much they charge for petrol and diesel so ministers can seek the necessary permission from the European Commission to extend the discount scheme.%VIRTUAL-SkimlinksPromo%
