The cheapest petrol in each Greater Manchester borough as drivers hit with record monthly fuel cost rise

June saw a new record monthly rise in petrol prices in the UK, according to RAC analysis.

The data shows that the average cost of a litre of fuel in the UK rose by 16.6p last month - a rise from 174.8p to 191.4p. It's the highest recorded monthly increase since 2000.

It means that the average cost of filling a typical 55-litre family petrol car has risen by more than £9. Meanwhile, average diesel prices rose by 15.6p per litre, landing at 199.1p at the end of the month.

The RAC noted that higher petrol prices were to be expected at the start of June due to the rise in wholesale prices relating to the war in Ukraine. However, five consecutive weeks of falling wholesale costs have not been reflected at UK forecourts.

The organisation’s fuel spokesman Simon Williams said: “The rate at which pump prices have been rising over the last four weeks is hard to comprehend. Not a day in June went by when petrol prices didn’t go up, even though the price retailers pay to buy in fuel went down.

“There’s no doubt that drivers are getting an incredibly raw deal at the pumps at a time when the cost-of-living crisis is being felt ever more acutely.” Mr Williams added: "The silence from the Treasury when it comes to supporting drivers through this time of record-high pump prices is, frankly, deafening.

“Perhaps it has something to do with the fact that it’s benefiting significantly from the increased VAT revenue caused by the high prices. We badly need the Government to go beyond just vague words and instead actually implement a clear package of financial support to show they’re on the side of drivers.”

Labour’s shadow transport secretary Louise Haigh said: “This hapless Conservative Government is so mired in scandal and chaos that it has no answers to the savage price hikes facing working people during a cost-of-living crisis.

“The Tories need to act urgently and tackle the profiteering of petrol giants, and ensure retailers pass on fuel duty cuts to consumers, to put money back in people’s pockets.”
