The Chancellor brought good news to Britain's motorists in his latest budget. Fuel duty will be frozen until the spring of 2015, rendering a planned September rise defunct.
Mr Osborne claims this means petrol is 20p a litre cheaper than it would have been under a Labour government.
Vehicle excise duty will, however, rise in line with inflation. Anyone with a vehicle in band D or above will be paying at least £5 more.
The Chancellor also confirmed that vehicle excise duty can be paid monthly, biannually or annually from October 1st this year. Those selling a car will not have to pay any remaining tax.
The man at number 11 also targeted Britain's pothole epidemic, earmarking £200m for road repairs. However, critics point out that with around £10Bn of pothole repair work needed, the sum is not adequate.
Long-term funding for potholes has been called for by some, while other voices suggest that more road resurfacing needs to take place, and that fixing potholes is a false economy.
The £200m will however go some way towards reducing wear and tear on the nation's cars, perhaps meaning repairs and vehicle recovery services are needed less.
Classic car owners also had good news from Mr Osborne: a new 40-year rolling period will come into effect from April 1st 2014, replacing the fixed date of January 1st 1973.
