Drivers have been urged to "cut out shorter journeys" by car and "walk or cycle to save money" by the AA as fuel prices continue to spiral.
The average price of a litre of petrol at UK forecourts reached a new record of 183.2p last Thursday, according to data firm Experian, which is an increase of 7.3p in just seven days.
It means the average cost of filling a typical 55-litre family car exceeded £100 for the first time on Wednesday.
