Petrol prices rise by 5p over a week as Iran war sends oil higher
A litre of unleaded now costs 167.17p which is the biggest weekly increase since April, data shows.
The average price of unleaded petrol has risen by 5p a litre in the space of a week, according to the RAC, which warned there was "no sign of any relief" for drivers.
The motoring organisation said a litre of unleaded now costs 167.17p - the biggest weekly increase since April - while diesel has also risen by 5p to 188.63p.
Fuel prices have soared since the US-Israel war with Iran began at the end of February, with the fighting severely disrupting supplies of crude oil - a key ingredient in petrol and diesel - across the Middle East.
RAC senior policy officer Rod Dennis said the latest increase in fuel prices showed just how exposed drivers in the UK can be to events thousands of miles away.
