LONDON: Driving a petrol-fuelled car in London costs more than in any other city in the world except Hong Kong, according to a new ranking, partly due to the capital’s congested roads.

Running a petrol car cost £2,500 (US$3,000 or RM13,400) last year, about £550 (RM2,900) more than in 2021, location technology business TomTom said.
