LONDON, Nov. 7 (UPI) -- The average British gasoline price hit $8 a gallon Wednesday and more increases are on the way, Britain's Automobile Association said.

British motorists are paying an average $14.65 more to fill up a car now than they were at this time last year, the association said.

Diesel fuel averaged $8.21 a gallon, the association said.

If oil prices continue to rise, "relief for the British motorist is unlikely in the near future," AA road safety head Andrew Howard told London's Telegraph newspaper.
