Petrol drivers may pay £123 in June for a typical mileage. Motorists are familiar with the rising cost of petrol and diesel due to the Middle East conflict.

In January, petrol was 134.97p per litre and diesel was 142.96p. Now, petrol is 159.48p per litre and diesel is 184.31p, which is a big increase.

The average UK petrol car's fuel efficiency is 36mpg, meaning it costs 20p per mile to run, based on the current petrol price.

Typical drivers cover 7,400 miles annually, which is 616 miles monthly. At 20p per mile, this costs £123.

The RAC Foundation found that pump price rises since the conflict started have resulted in motorists paying extra for petrol and diesel.

As of May 29, petrol is 159.48p per litre and diesel is 184.31p.

The analysis also reveals that the Treasury has collected extra VAT due to higher fuel costs, over £336million.

The figures are calculated using average daily pump price increases and last year's fuel consumption data. VAT is 20% of the fuel cost.

Steve Gooding said the financial pain caused by the war continues to mount up for millions of motorists.

Ministers have warned that the economic effects of the conflict could last for months.

Diesel vehicle owners have been most affected by the price hikes, and many will pass on their costs to customers.

We all feel the effects of high fuel prices, whether we drive or not.

The government will extend the temporary fuel duty cut of 5p. This cut will now run until the end of 2026.

Chancellor Rachel Reeves confirmed the cut will be extended to help with the cost of living pressure from motorists.
