Boris Johnson has ordered ministers to find ways to 'expose' petrol stations that fail to pass on lower prices from the Government's fuel duty cut.
The PM is pushing for action after figures last week showed average petrol prices exceeded £1.70 per litre for the first time - despite the Chancellor introducing a 5p per litre duty cut on March 23.
Department for Transport officials have been tasked with drawing up plans to 'name and shame' garages that choose to raise profit margins rather than pass on the cut to customers.
