Petrol sales slumped this spring despite a dip in prices at the pumps.

Almost 500 million fewer litres were sold between April and June than in the
same period last year, according to official figures.

The drop followed a near-120 million litre rise in petrol sales in the first
three months of this year when the tanker drivers' dispute led to some panic
buying.
