Petrol prices have hit record highs in recent months as the cost of living crisis bites particularly hard for those needing a car to get around.
Household budgets are being stretched further by the week, with the average price of a litre of petrol at UK forecourts reaching a new high of 185.4p on Monday - up 6.9p in just seven days.
The average price of diesel was a record 191.2p per litre on the same day, according to data firm Experian.
