For weeks Cornwall drivers have desperately searched for the petrol stations offering the cheapest petrol and diesel prices. The country was hit by the biggest weekly rise in fuel prices in at least 18 years after Russia invaded Ukraine.
The average price of a liter of petrol on UK forecourts fell from 149.2p on February 28 to 165.9p on March 17, according to RAC Fuel Watch. Average diesel prices fell from 153.4p to 176.8p over the same period.
The increases of 16.7p for petrol and 13.4p for diesel are the biggest on record since June 2003. They mean the cost of filling a typical 55-litre family car has risen by more than 2 £ over the past week. Oil prices have soared on concerns about the reliability of supplies amid the war in Ukraine. Learn more here.
