Drivers are being urged to follow two key steps at the petrol station to save hundreds of pounds.
The latest data from RAC Fuel Watch shows the average cost of petrol to be 187.01p per litre. This has increased almost 2p since Sunday and a massive jump of more than 56p since last year, when prices were just 130.69p.
Diesel is also rising, with drivers now forking out an average of 193.30p per litre, with prices for all fuels "likely to rise." Diesel has increased three pence since Sunday and an enormous 60p increase since this time last year.
