The latest data shows that petrol prices have soared by 13p since the start of the month and diesel by nearly 21p - the fastest rises on record. The AA says it means that between mid-February and mid-March the cost of filling a typical 55-litre car tank leapt from £81.73 to £90.97.
The high costs mean it's worth looking around for the best prices when looking to fill up your car – supermarket forecourts usually offer the cheapest fuel prices.
