Drivers are being warned as experts predict petrol prices could increase again following cuts in oil supplies.
Currently, according to RAC, the average cost for petrol is 162.43p and diesel is sitting at 80.28p, however this is expected to rise. The oil group Opec+ has voted to reduce the volume of oil exported to Western nations, BirminghamLive reports. The RAC has warned this decision will 'inevitably' mean higher prices at supermarkets and garage forecourts.
A spokesman for the motoring group added: “The question is when, and to what extent, retailers choose to pass these increased costs on at their forecourts. We believe that in many cases drivers are being charged more to fill up today than they should be based on average wholesale prices over the last few weeks.”
