While the price of crude oil has been falling steadily in recent weeks - with the price drop not reflected at the pumps - then a decision today means lower prices are even less likely.
That's because the oil producers association OPEC has decided to cut production to keep the price of oil per barrel above $100.
The AA has accused oil firms of 'dragging their feet' and failing to cut prices for consumers fast enough.
Prices have fallen nearly 30 per cent from the $147 high in July but prices at petrol stations have not fallen as quickly, with unleaded down from July's peak of 119.7p to around 112.7p - a drop of nearly 6 per cent.
Average diesel prices have fallen from 133.3p to 124.1p, just under 7 per cent.
