Petrol prices have climbed above 150p a litre for the first time since mid-May two years ago, leaving drivers facing one of the priciest periods at the pumps in recent memory.
The RAC has reported that the average cost of unleaded petrol now stands at 150.11p a litre, while diesel is creeping towards 180p, currently averaging 177.68p.
Simon Williams, Head of Policy at RAC, said: “With the long-awaited four-day Easter weekend almost within touching distance, the cost of getting away by car is going to be noticeably higher this year.
"And with average prices at motorway services at 166p for unleaded and 182p for diesel, drivers on long journeys will need to plan very carefully where they refuel.”
