Petrol prices in the UK have jumped to their highest level since April, sparking fears they could climb even higher.
The average petrol price at the pump is now 133.19p per litre, up from 132.95p in June, according to the Department for Energy, Security & Net Zero.
Diesel prices have also risen to 140.58p per litre, up from 140.26p last month – the highest level since April 28.
Experts warn that problems in the middle east could push prices even higher, with some predicting petrol could hit 150p per litre.
Tensions between Israel and Iran, along with American military action in the region, have already caused the price of crude oil to spike.
After reaching nearly $79 a barrel in late June, oil prices now sit just under $70.
