The average price of diesel on Monday was 181.14p per litre, up from 179.7p last week.

Though Rishi Sunak introduced a 5p cut per litre in March, retailers have been accused of raising profit margins to tackle the cut. Prices had already risen by 7% in the 12 months to March - the fastest rate in 30 years.

Unfortunately for motorists, the rises don't seem to be slowing down. Fortunately, PetrolPrices.com 's handy tool allows drivers to find the cheapest fuel near them.
