Petrol station

16th August 2006

A new survey has found that the number of petrol stations has fallen by nearly a half to 10,000. And researchers at Mintel predict a further 2,000 will go by the end of next year.

Soaring fuel prices are the main reason for the rising closure rate. Small, independent outlets in the country are most at risk, as they have fewer pumps and are less profitable than big supermarket forecourts.
