The latest advisory fuel rates (AFRs) have been published by HMRC, with a rise for cars with bigger diesel engines.

Following the update, the rate for diesel cars with engines bigger than 2000cc will be increased by 1 pence per mile (ppm). 

For cars powered by LPG (liquid petroleum gas), all rates have been increased:  by 1ppm for those with engines smaller than 1400cc and between 1401cc and 2000cc; and 2ppm for engines larger than 2000cc.

The advisory electricity rate for fully electric cars, first introduced in September, remains at 4ppm.

The rates apply from 1 December, however employers can use the previous ones up to one month after that date.

The new rates are as follows:
