PETROL prices have seen a small rise over the last seven days.

The price for a litre of unleaded has increased by 2p since last Friday (June 24) while diesel has remained pretty static.

Fuel retailers have been accused of “inexplicably” raising pump prices again despite falling wholesale costs.

The RAC say drivers have “a right to know” why they are still being charged record prices to fill up.

RAC fuel price spokesman Simon Williams said: “Inexplicably, fuel prices rose yet again yesterday.

“We can see absolutely no rhyme or reason why average forecourt prices are still going up, given that the wholesale price of both fuels has been falling for weeks.

“Drivers up and down the country have a right to know why they’re having to pay what they are for fuel when the costs to retailers right now are so much less than they were a few weeks ago.”
