HC Deb 02 December 1985 vol 88 c115W
Mr. Lord

asked the Secretary of State for Transport what he estimates, at current fuel prices, would be the savings produced by a 2 per cent. reduction in fuel consumption on roads in the United Kingdom.

Mr. Ridley

A reduction of two per cent. in annual petrol consumption assuming a pre-tax price of £.95 per gallon would save around £115 million.
