Fuel prices are at their highest since the summer of 2014 and there is ‘no end in sight’
RAC were right in their predictions that 2018 would be a bad year for fuel cost increases
FUEL prices are at their highest since the summer of 2014 and there is “no end in sight” to the rising cost, warns the RAC.
The average price of unleaded is £1.30 a litre, while diesel stands at £1.34 a litre, according to government figures.
The falling value of Sterling against the US dollar price of oil has hit fuel retailers, the motoring group warned.
A spokesman said: “It’s a tough time for motorists.”
RAC fuel spokesman Simon Williams said: "August was another bad month for motorists and it's rapidly becoming a horrible year on the UK's forecourts and it looks like further increases are inevitable.
"Having benefited from some very low prices two-and-a-half years ago, drivers get a nasty shock every time they go to fill up their cars, having to fork out more and more."
