Petrol hits new high
By Susie Watkins 22nd Feb 2022
Petrol prices at the pumps in Frome today February 22
But in Cheddar last week the prices were already high
Fuel prices on forecourts hit a record high February 21.
At Sainsbury's in Frome - often the cheapest in the town - they were
£1.449 @ litre. But the average across the UK qas £149.12p a litre, meaning it would cost £81.95 to fill a 55-litre family car, while diesel also reached a record at 152.6p, making a similar-sized full tank almost £84. The motorists' organisation RAC blamed the rise on profiteering by petrol retailers and stubbornly high oil prices caused by tension between Russia and Ukraine. The price of Brent crude reached a seven-year high of $97.65 (£71.91) a barrel on Tuesday. Meaning prices at the pumps are likely to rise again.
