UK petrol and diesel prices have started to rise again as higher crude oil prices feed through to wholesale fuel costs.
Brent crude was up 3.4% at US$78.62 a barrel, adding fresh pressure to forecourt prices.
The RAC said average unleaded petrol had fallen from 159.53p a litre at the end of May to a low of 150.59p on 6 July, but has since climbed back above 151p to 151.19p.
Diesel has also edged higher, rising from a recent low of 164.52p to 164.85p a litre, although it remains well below the 191.54p peak recorded in mid-April.
The AA reported similar figures, with petrol rising from a six-week low of 150.7p to around 151p a litre, while diesel edged up to 164.9p.
RAC head of policy Simon Williams warned that the recent savings enjoyed by drivers could begin to disappear.
He said petrol and diesel could rise by a further couple of pence per litre over the coming week, with future prices likely to depend heavily on whether tensions between the US and Iran escalate further.
