RAC

The provided articles do not mention the RAC (Royal Automobile Club). Instead, they focus on three distinct issues: the deteriorating state of roads in England and Wales due to potholes, potential profiteering by UK fuel retailers in response to rising wholesale costs linked to geopolitical tensions, and the UK's gas supply situation amidst conflict in the Middle East. The pothole crisis is described as a 'national disgrace' with a record repair backlog. The Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) is monitoring fuel retailers to prevent price gouging. A government minister has reassured the public that there is no immediate threat to UK gas supplies despite rising oil prices due to the conflict in Iran. These issues are relevant due to their potential impact on UK infrastructure, consumer costs, and energy security.
