The rising cost of petrol at the pumps shows little signs of slowing down, hitting people's pockets harder than ever.
This, along with the sharp rise in energy bills, continues to make day-to-day life more expensive for all. Long gone are the days of petrol for under a pound a litre in the height of lockdown in 2020.
Data firm Experian Catalist reported this week that the average cost of a litre of petrol at UK forecourts reached a new high of 161.1p, up from 159.6p on Wednesday.
