As it is revealed that the cost of filling an average family car has hit £100 for the first time, we have put together a list of what you will be paying for fuel across Cumbria today.
A petrol station in Workington is charging the most for diesel in the county at a whopping 206.9p per litre, according to petrolprices.com
And the M6 northbound services at Burton-in-Kendal is charging 202.9p for petrol.
The RAC said the cost of filling a 55-litre tank with petrol reached £100.27 and £103.43 for diesel.
The soaring fuel prices have been caused by the Ukraine and moves to reduce reliance on Russian oil.
There are also concerns petrol retailers are not passing on a recent cut in fuel duty to consumers.
Simon Williams, of the RAC, said: “It’s a truly dark day today for drivers with petrol now crossing the thoroughly depressing threshold of £100 a tank (£100.27p). A complete diesel fill-up now costs £103.43.
“With average prices so high – 182.31p for a litre of unleaded and 188.05p for diesel – there’s almost certainly going to be upward inflationary pressure which is bad news for everybody.
“While fuel prices have been setting new records on a daily basis, households up and down the country may never have expected to see the cost of filling an average-sized family car reach three figures.
With RAC research showing as many as eight-in-10 depend on their cars many must be wondering if any further financial support from the Government will be forthcoming. March’s 5p fuel duty cut now looks paltry as wholesale petrol costs have already increased by five times that amount since the Spring Statement (25p).
“A further duty cut or a temporary reduction in VAT would go a long way towards helping drivers, especially those on lower incomes who have no choice other than to drive.
“It’s also important to remember that the Government is still benefitting from the high fuel prices by taking around 30p in VAT from every litre sold. This compares to just 25p before Russia invaded Ukraine. On top of this the Government is still collecting 53p fuel duty from every litre.
“Other price records were also unfortunately set on Wednesday as the average of a litre of unleaded at a supermarket jumped 2.5p to 175.91p while diesel increased by nearly 2p to 184.13p. As we expected, other supermarkets raised their prices yesterday in line with the increases made by Asda.”
Average price is 188.05p for diesel and 182.31p for petrol and both are likely to rise, according to the RAC. The diesel price on average is the highest it has been in 20 years.
