CHEAPER PETROL.
PEICES DEOP IN LONDON.
(British Official Wireless.)
KUGBY, September 24.
The price of petrol in Britain has been reduced 2d a gallon, bringing it to l/4i in London, which is the lowest-priced zone in the country. Two reasons are given for the reduction. One is weaker prices for crude petroleum in the United States and the other is lower, freight charges. But for the tax the retail price of petrol from pumps would now be from IOJd to 1/0J
a gallon. The relief is welcomed by industrial users of motor transport and by private motorists.
