With data showing petrol prices are rising, RAC head of policy Simon Williams said: “In bad news for drivers ahead of the bank holiday, the average price of petrol has reached a new Iran war high with a litre now costing 158.52p.
“The price last peaked on April 15 at 158.31p, falling by more than a penny until the start of May when it began rising again.
“But RAC analysis of wholesale fuel data unfortunately indicates that unleaded is now likely to increase to at least 160p a litre in the coming weeks, unless there's a dramatic and sustained drop in the price of oil which has been above $100 a barrel since late April.
“It's a more positive outlook for diesel as the wholesale price has reduced significantly since it peaked in early April.
“While the price of diesel at the pump has fallen nearly 6p to 185.92p - its lowest price since the start of last month - it should really be much lower than it is.
“We urge retailers to reflect the savings they're benefitting from when buying new supply on the forecourt.”
