Shell has just put up the price of unleaded by 2p a litre and diesel by 1p a litre. BP has put up the price of diesel and LRP (lead replacement fuel) by 1p a litre. Sainsburys has also put up its prices since Christmas.
Around Ipswich you can now expect to pay around 75.2ppl for unleaded, 76.6ppl for diesel and 79.9ppl for LRP.
Simon Woodings, the AA spokesman for East Anglia, said: "The talk of possible conflict with Iraq and the petrol workers strike in Venezuela has sent prices soaring over Christmas by 2, 3 or 4 pence per litre. This has hit rural motorists in East Anglia hard as they have to travel further to get their petrol and as there is less competition about.
