Earlier this week, average petrol prices exceeded £1.70 per litre for the first time.
The average price of a litre of petrol at UK forecourts on Tuesday was 170.4p, according to data firm Experian Catalist. Diesel also reached a record high of 181.4p per litre.
Petrol has become around 41p per litre more expensive over the past 12 months, adding around £23 to the cost of filling a typical 55-litre family car. The rising cost of petrol prices is a significant factor in the cost of living crisis.
