this year, 2.9m. tons i of petrol were delivered to dealers, and of this quantity two-thirds comprised premium grades. The total amount was 86 per cent. above the figure for 1948. Commercial operators have been consuming less petrol each year since 1955, and in the first half of this year used about a third as much petrol as private motorists did.
Consumption of oil fuel has doubled between 1950 and 1958 to an annual rate of 2m. tons, state the Treasury.
