		</div><p>Diesel car drivers have been hit by the longest streak of weekly fuel price rises in more than two years.<br />
The average cost of a litre of diesel at UK forecourts has increased each week since July 2 and now stands at £1.37, according to Government figures.</p>
<p>Filling up has become more expensive for 17 consecutive weeks, which is the longest run since summer 2016.<br />
Although sales of new diesel cars have fallen in recent months amid concern over emissions, there are still 13 million of them registered for use on UK roads.</p>
<blockquote><p>£1.37	Average cost of a litre of diesel</p></blockquote>
<p>Both diesel and petrol prices have spiralled in recent weeks, reaching a four-year high.</p>
<p>Over the past six months the cost of filling up a typical 55-litre family car that runs on petrol or diesel has risen by around £6.</p>
<p>This is linked to oil reaching around 86 US dollars a barrel earlier this month, compared with 67 US dollars in April. Average petrol prices fell by a fraction of a penny in the past week to £1.31 per litre.</p>
<p>Chancellor Philip Hammond confirmed in Monday’s Budget that fuel duty will remain frozen at 58p per litre for the ninth year in a row.</p>
<p>Steve Gooding, director of the RAC Foundation, said: “The inexorable rise in the cost of diesel over recent months demonstrates how welcome confirmation in Monday’s Budget of a fuel duty freeze will be to millions of drivers.</p>
<p>“While oil prices have retreated slightly in the past couple of weeks motorists are reliant on forecourt operators passing on the savings.”</p>
