Following the news the Competition and Markets Authority has set out plans to step up monitoring of petrol and diesel prices, RAC head of policy Simon Williams said:

"Drivers tell us the cost of motoring is a major concern, and fuel is a huge contributor to that, so making sure they're paying a fair price at the pumps is essential. For that reason, we welcome the competition watchdog's scrutiny of what's happening on forecourts across the country.

"RAC Fuel Watch data shows average prices have rocketed in under two weeks with the average price of petrol increasing by 7p to 140p a litre and diesel by 16p to 158p. This has added £4 and £8 to the cost of filling up a family car. "
