British drivers were hit by a record monthly rise in petrol prices in June, motoring group RAC said.

The average cost of a litre of petrol rose by 16.59 pence in June, from 174.8 pence to 191.4 pence, adding more than £9 to the cost of filling a typical 55-litre family petrol car, according to an analysis of data from RAC Fuel Watch.
