The RAC is urging motorists to make the most of low fuel prices while they can - as reports suggest the chance to get petrol at less than £1 a litre may not last.

The price of oil reached a 12-year low on 20 January, but the barrel price has started to rebound - which will in turn affect the price at petrol pumps all over the country.

According to the RAC, in January:

  • Average price of diesel fell by 9p a litre

  • Most users saved £2.72 at fill-up

  • Most prices fell to less than 98p a litre

But get it while you can:
