AFTER fuel prices consecutively fell for three months, prices have bottomed out and have started to creep back up.

148.35p was the average price towards the end of January. Having at one point been as much as 3.5p lower than at the start of the month, unleaded closed January at 148.89p – 3p lower than it began (151.85p).

The last time drivers filled up at this price was in mid-February 2022 before Russia invaded Ukraine.

The average price of diesel dropped by 4p from 174.37p to 170.37p – a price last seen in March 2022.

This means a tank of diesel now costs £93.70 – £2.20 less than at the beginning of January. A petrol fill-up is now £81.89 – down £1.63 in the month.

Filling up at one of the big four supermarkets was around 3p a litre cheaper for both fuels

RAC fuel spokesman Simon Williams said: “Although January saw fuel prices fall for the third month in a row, there is now more cause for concern than celebration as petrol has already begun to creep back up very slightly.

“Monthly reductions of 3p for petrol and 4p for diesel were welcome but sadly the first month of the year saw the wholesale price of petrol rise by 2p and diesel by 3p"
