The average UK price of unleaded petrol has passed £1 per litre for the first time, a research group has said.
A litre of unleaded petrol now costs 100.08p, according to the latest data from industry researchers Catalist.
Petrol prices have risen sharply on the back of record global oil prices, which have increased as a result of supply concerns and the weak dollar.
Recent oil supply concerns have centred on a number of factors, including Iran's stand-off with the West over its nuclear ambitions, and a possible Turkish military action against Kurdish rebels across the border in Iraq.
