DRIVERS are again keeping an eagle eye on petrol prices following the spike in the cost of living.
It comes as the cost of filling an average family car continues to be more than £100 and this week’s rail strikes which are expected to see more people take to their cars.
According to the RAC, the average price of petrol rose to 189.84p per litre on Wednesday (June 22), while the average for diesel rose to another record high of 198p per litre.
This means the average cost of filling a typical family car now exceeds £100, coming in at 103.79p for petrol and 108.13p for diesel.
In March, the government cut fuel duty by 5p a litre for a year, but the RAC has called for more help for motorists with either a further reduction or a VAT cut.
