Drivers have been issued a warning as petrol prices could increase again. This comes after a cut in oil exports which could have a knock-on-effect at the pumps.
According to oil group Opec+ has voted to reduce the volume of oil experts to Western nations, BirminghamLive reports, the RAC has said this decision will 'inevitably' mean higher prices at supermarkets and garage forecourts.
A spokesman for the motoring group added: “The question is when, and to what extent, retailers choose to pass these increased costs on at their forecourts. We believe that in many cases drivers are being charged more to fill up today than they should be based on average wholesale prices over the last few weeks.”
