"Diesel drivers are even worse off, with a tank now costing more than £90 for the first time ever - £8 more than in early January." Mr Williams said the average price of petrol is"now certain" to hit £1.60 a litre this week with more increases at the pumps in the coming days"inevitable".to help drivers by temporarily cutting VAT to at least 15%.
"As it stands, 26p a litre of what drivers are paying on the forecourt is attributable to VAT and that comes on top of 58p a litre in fuel duty."
