The average price of diesel as of June 15, was 193.30 pence per litre and the average petrol price was 187.01 pence per litre.

Some fuel stations across the country are currently charging more than £2 per litre, and forecourts around the West Midlands are approaching that landmark figure, with several currently at 199.9 pence per litre.

The price of filling up an average 55-litre car is now well over £100 as the cost of living crisis continues to worsen.

There have been calls for the Government to intervene again, as the introduction of a fuel duty cut of 5p by Chancellor Rishi Sunak seems to have had little effect.

Forecourts across the West Midlands currently vary in price, with some creeping to £2 per litre, while others, mainly supermarket fuel stations, remain the cheapest.
