Fuel prices across the country hit record highs last week, as Russia’s war in Ukraine continues to drive up the price of crude oil around the world.
The average price for a litre of petrol hit £1.63 last Sunday , March 13, after rising above £1.60 for the first time. Diesel remained above £1.73 a litre.
A full tank of petrol now costs almost £88, while diesel “has now gone over £92”, said a RAC spokesperson.
Although prices are set to ease after hitting these record highs, Nathan Piper at the oil and gas researcher Investec, said people “need to get ready for what could be continued increases.”
He told MPS this was the “lull before the storm”.
