Oil prices have soared due to concerns over the reliability of supplies since Russian troops invaded Ukraine last week.

Brent crude reached a 10-year high of nearly 120 US dollars per barrel on Thursday.

RAC fuel spokesman Simon Williams said UK fuel prices are determined by the cost of oil and the US dollar-pound exchange rate.

This means "further price rises are inevitable in the coming days and weeks", he said.

Mr Williams said: "As this period of record high prices could be here for some considerable time, drivers may need to take steps to keep their costs under control.

"Driving less may be an option for some, but those who depend on their cars will have to try to buy their fuel at the best possible price and then drive as fuel efficiently as possible."
