Average petrol prices at UK forecourts hit a record high of 175.6p a litre on Monday, as motorists were warned that the “worst is still to come” as average fuel prices will likely hit £2 per litre this summer.
Monday's figure was up 6.6p from 169.0p seven days earlier, according to newly released government data.
Average diesel prices increased by 3.7p per litre over the same period, reaching 185.3p, the largest weekly increase for both fuels since March.
