Escalating fuel bills, driven by the rising price of oil, means the cost of filling up a 55-litre family car has risen £10 since last November, according to a motoring organisation.
Petrol is at its highest price for nearly eight years after eight consecutive months of increases at the pumps, figures from the RAC show.
The motoring organisation predicted escalating fuel bills, driven by the rising cost of oil, could speed up the switchover to electric cars.
According to RAC data, a litre of unleaded rose by 2.7p in June from 129.52p to 132.19p - its most expensive since October 2013 when it stood at 132.28p.
At the same time diesel went up 2.5p over the month from 131.79p to 134.32p taking it to its highest price in two years.
The price hike means the cost of filling up a 55-litre family car has risen £10 since last November when a litre cost 114.12p
The June rise alone added £1.50 to a tank of unleaded with the cost rising to £72.70.
The average cost of a complete fill-up with diesel is now £73.88 - an increase of £1.40 in the month.
