Petrol and diesel prices have both hit the highest levels since 2022 as the conflict in the Middle East continues to impact drivers' finances.

The average price of a litre of petrol now stands at 169.68p, according to the RAC motoring body, while diesel has risen to 191.68p.

The cost of filling up a vehicle is back to where it was after Russia launched a full-scale invasion of Ukraine more than four years ago.

They have since rebounded. At 191.68p for a litre of diesel, the price is getting closer to the record high of 199.05p seen in June 2022.
