A 55-litre tank of fuel is now costing £100.27p while the same amount of diesel is costing £103.43, both have reached record highs

Petrol is 182.31p a litre on average today which is 1.5p up from yesterday and diesel now costs 188.05p per litre this is a rise of 1.4p in 24 hours.

RAC fuel spokesman Simon Williams said the average price of petrol crossing the "thoroughly depressing threshold of £100 a tank" meant it was "a truly dark day" for drivers.

He went on: "There's almost certainly going to be upward inflationary pressure, which is bad news for everybody. While fuel prices have been setting new records on a daily basis, households up and down the country may never have expected to see the cost of filling an average-sized family car reach three figures."
