The average price of petrol has seen its second highest monthly increase ever.
The average cost of petrol is now 102.66p a litre compared with 97.68p in mid-May. The 4.98p-a-litre rise is exceeded only by the 5.61p monthly increase endured by drivers between mid-May and mid-June last year.
The average price of diesel has risen 1.36p since mid-May 2009 and is now 104.85p a litre. The AA said the 4.98p petrol increase in the last few weeks means the cost of refilling a typical 50-litre fuel tank has gone up £2.49 in the past month.
A family with two petrol cars is spending £10.80 more per month on fuel than in mid May and UK consumers are spending an extra £3,216,196 a day on petrol compared with a month ago.
At present, south west England and Northern Ireland have the most expensive petrol at an average of 103.2p a litre, with northern England having the cheapest (102.3p).
The most expensive diesel is to be found in East Anglia (105.5p a litre) and the cheapest is in north west England and Yorkshire/Humberside (104.1p).

As much as I wish I was a driver things like this kinda make me glad I'm not cuz I'd go bankrupt trying to run a car. It's disgusting how much we have to pay for fuel in this country.
