According to the AA, June 2008 saw record price rises for fuel. The average cost of a litre of unleaded petrol in the UK was 118.2p while diesel was 131.6p.

In June 2007, the prices were around 97.0p and 97.4p respectively.

Anyone with a vehicle is noticing the rises, but for some it means they're thinking听 more deeply about their relationships with their cars.
