According to the UK automotive services business, RAC, on Monday, the price of a liter (0.26 gallons) of petrol increased by about 7 pence ($0.08) and the price of a liter (0.26 gallons) of diesel increased by 8 pence in August.

In a press release, the company detailed that the price of petrol "rocketed by nearly 7p (6.68p) a liter in August while diesel shot up by 8p, making for the fifth and sixth biggest monthly rises in 23 years."

As a result, the cost of refilling a full tank of gasoline in the UK has jumped by over four pounds in a month, while the cost of refueling with diesel has increased by about 4.5 pounds.
