UK motorists face higher fuel costs as petrol and diesel prices rise, with unleaded petrol averaging about 172.0p per litre and diesel around 195.7p per litre, according to reports.
Alongside the price increases, motoring outlets cite fuel-saving guidance for drivers. Both sources mention a recommended “60mph rule,” urging motorists to drive at or near 60 miles per hour to help reduce fuel use. The Mirror also frames the change as part of broader motoring updates, while focusing on practical advice for managing spending at the pump.
The two reports largely align on the figures for average petrol and diesel prices and on the call for drivers to use the 60mph approach. They differ mainly in emphasis: one includes more explicit tips and broader commentary on driving habits, while the other focuses more directly on the price rises and the headline advice.
