Petrol prices have pushed up a further 3p a litre in the last month, according to the AA.
The rise means the cost of petrol at the pumps has increased more than 10p a litre since February.
The average price has risen from 113.29p in mid-April to 116.42p now, while diesel has gone up from 118.83p to 120.70p.
Across the UK, Northern Ireland has the lowest average price, at 116p a litre, as well as the cheapest diesel, which is averaging 119.4p.
Scottish drivers are paying the most for their fuel, averaging 117p for petrol and 121.3p for diesel.
AA president Edmund King said: "Despite negative inflation in April, warning signals coming from the EU and the United States indicate that the 20-dollars-a-barrel leap in the price of oil since the beginning of the year is once again influencing the car-use and fuel-buying behaviour of drivers.
"Compared to May 2014, when petrol averaged around 130p a litre and diesel 136p, car-dependent families should be feeling much better off. However, as the AA has pointed out in the past, price surges at the pump and on the billboards trigger a negative response from drivers."
The AA also highlighted Government figures which showed that petrol sales fell 2.6% in April 2015 despite pump prices being 16p a litre lower than in April 2014.
Diesel sales, however, were up - rising from 2.378 billion in April 2014 to 2.418 billion litres in April 2015.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
