Filling up with petrol is £17 more costly on average than in February despite a barrel of oil being around the same price, new analysis shows.
The data, compiled by the FairFuelUK campaign group, sparked fresh calls for another cut in fuel duty.
According to the analysis, the Treasury is raking in £10million a day more in VAT receipts now than in August last year thanks to higher pump prices.
Despite a barrel of oil falling to £79.88 last week, petrol was 180.70p and diesel 190.70p, respectively £17.27 and £20.95 more expensive to fill the average family car than in February.
