Petrol prices will hit £2 a litre this summer - and some service stations are already charging more than that.
The RAC warned motorists it expects the £2 mark to be breached for unleaded fuel due to the pound weakening against the US dollar. Oil is bought in US dollars, so it becomes more expensive for UK motorists if the pound slumps against the American currency.
While average prices at UK forecourts were 175.6p on Monday, a rise of 6p in a week, motorway services are already charging more than £2 per litre. The Moto services, on the A1(M) at Washington, charged 202.9p per litre for unleaded and 204.9 per litre for diesel, on Tuesday June 6.
