There has been no let up in the pace of fuel price increases, with pump costs hitting new record levels over the weekend, according to the latest figures.
Data from Experian Catalist showed the average cost of a litre of unleaded hit 185.04p on Sunday while diesel – the engine of the UK economy – rose to 190.92p.
The RAC said it meant that the Treasury was now netting around £46 in tax from the average full tank.
