Petrol prices have continued to rise across the country, with the £2 per litre mark for unleaded already being breached in some parts of the UK.
The price rises are being driven by the continued war in Ukraine and subsequent sanctions on Russia, as well as Covid restrictions being lifted in China which has increased demand for diesel and petrol worldwide.
RAC spokesperson Simon Williams has said about the continuing trend of rising fuel costs: "More radical government intervention is urgently needed, whether that's in the form of a further reduction in fuel duty or a VAT cut."
