Ahead of his Autumn Budget today, Chancellor of the Exchequer Jeremy Hunt is being urged not to raise fuel duty.
The RAC has reported that increasing fuel prices could push inflation even higher after it found an "extremely strong link" between the two. The warning comes after the Treasury cut fuel duty by 5p in March.
Mr Hunt is set to deliver the Autumn Statement on Thursday morning where he is expected to raise taxes and cut public spending as inflation hits a 41 year high.
