Figures published this morning by data firm Experian Catalist show the average cost of a litre of petrol at UK forecourts on Thursday was 161.1p, up from 159.6p on Wednesday.

This morning, the RAC called on Chancellor Rishi Sunak to cut VAT on fuel to save motorists money.

Simon Williams, fuel spokesman for the RAC, said: “It’s really quite tough now, the cost of filling up is over £88 for petrol and £92 for diesel.

“One thing he (Sunak) could do is reduce VAT on petrol and diesel.

“At the moment, just the VAT, which is of course called a tax on a tax, is bringing 26 pence per litre so, bringing that back to 15 per cent would instantly cut it by about six pence per litre.”

The National Farmers Union has also called on the Government to act “as a matter of extreme urgency”, as rising fuel prices have a knock on effect on food prices and impact agriculture.
