Drivers hit by higher fuel prices for fourth month in a row Drivers have suffered a fourth consecutive month of rising fuel prices, analysis shows.
RAC head of policy Simon Williams said: “It’s not been a good start to 2025 for drivers at the pumps with prices going up for the fourth month in a row.
Since the start of October the price per litre has increased by 5p for petrol and 6p for diesel, the RAC said.
This has been partly attributed to a spike in oil prices in mid-January, which saw the cost of a barrel exceed 80 US dollars for several days.
A slight weakening of the pound against the dollar has also made wholesale fuel more expensive for retailers.
