After the huge hike in the cost of fuel motorists could be forgiven for not wanting to check the forecourt prices.

And, according to the RAC fuel watch, the national average price for unleaded petrol is a whopping 190.65p.
However, prices at the pumps have started to come down in some places across the UK as one petrol station had unleaded petrol on sale for 169.9p at Trago Mills in Newton Abbot, Devon.
Trago was also selling diesel at 181.9p, compared to a national average of 198.42p, and the prices in some forecourts has seen the price of a litre of petrol come down to 173.9p per litre.

The prices at the pumps have hopefully peaked, according to the RAC, who believe the prices will start to come down - which will be good news for motorists.
RAC fuel spokesman Simon Williams added: “We strongly hope pump prices have peaked for the time being and will now start to decrease in line with wholesale prices which reduced last week.
"That, however, is the hands of retailers as we monitor both wholesale and retail fuel prices daily, including those at the UK's supermarkets and urge retailers to pass on cost savings to motorists when they can be made."
