Conor Faughnan of the AA said: “While this latest increase is a little bit of bad news for motorists across the country, it is worth remember that in the second half of 2018 we were seeing average prices of 147.9c and 141.9c for petrol and diesel respectively.

"Ultimately, as it stands the situation is one which represents a minor improvement on the latter half of 2018, but one which still highlights the effect of punitive taxation on those who rely on the private car to get to work.

"The majority of what we pay consists of various taxations, some of which were introduced as temporary measures during the economic downturn and have since remained in place, meaning that the power to do something to make the cost of commuting to work a little more affordable rests in the hands of our government.”
