Only Luxembourg has done less to help motorists than Britain, this new ranking of European countries has found

The motoring association compiled a list of 13 countries in the continent that have taken action over fuel prices and Britain came second last of those.

But at an average price of 186p per litre, only Finland and Denmark have higher prices out of all European Union countries. Simon Williams, the RAC’s fuel spokesperson, said: "This analysis lays bare an uncomfortable truth for the UK Government - that compared to other European countries, it's pretty much done the least to support drivers through the current period of record high fuel prices."The result is the UK being one of the most expensive places to fill up and putting it above other countries that have historically charged more for fuel than UK retailers do, including France and the Netherlands.
