Drivers are bite on rising fuel prices for the fourth month in a row, according to the latest data.
Since the beginning of October the price per liter has risen by 5p for gasoline and 6p for diesel, the RAC said.
This means that filling your tank is now almost £ 3 more expensive than early October.
This is partially attributed to a peak in the oil prices in mid -January, with the costs of a barrel coming up for more than 80 US dollars for several days.
This in combination with a slight weakening of the pound against the dollar has also made wholesale fuel more expensive for retailers.
At the end of January the average price of a liter of gasoline and diesel was 139.0p and 145.7p respectively.
RAC Fuel Watch data also showed the average price of a liter of lead -free purchased at one of the Big Four supermarkets rose by 1.6 PA liter to 134p and diesel with almost 2p to 141.6p.

Looking at the prices around the United Kingdom, excluding highway services, England has the most expensive lead -free on an average of 138.5p, closely followed by Wales at 137.3P and Scotland 136.9P, with Noord -Ierland much cheaper at 133.1p.
For Diesel, England is again the sweetest at 145.2p. Scotland and Wales are similar to 143.9p and 143.4p respectively, while Noord -Ireland is just below 140p (137.9p).
RAC policy head Simon Williams said: 'It has not been a good start until 2025 for drivers at the pumps with prices that go up for the fourth month in a row.
'Unfortunately, filling is now almost £ 3 more expensive than early October.
'We hope that this trend will not continue and that prices will fall back again.
'A lot depends on the global oil demand and offer. Although the oil price can be notorious volatile, there is a reason to think that the prices of regulations can become cheaper in the coming months, because some analysts predict an average oil price this year closer to 70 US dollars. '
