Diesel prices rose nearly 14% to 162.1p per litre while petrol increased 10p due to crude oil surpassing $100 a barrel amid Middle East tensions.
- On Tuesday, UK forecourts reported average unleaded petrol at 142.3p a litre and diesel at 162.1p per litre after nearly 14% rise over roughly two weeks due to the Middle East conflict.
- Global markets, spooked by the Middle East conflict, have driven crude oil above 100 dollars a barrel after last week’s rise, due to fears of disruption in the Strait of Hormuz.
- Filling up a family car now costs over £11 more per tank compared with late February, as petrol has risen by 10p a litre and diesel by 20p, RAC head of policy Simon Williams said.
- The RAC warned it is 'really starting to hurt drivers', while Michael Shanks, Energy Minister, said on Tuesday the Government 'stands ready to provide whatever support is needed to consumers'.
- Diesel is on course to hit £1.70 on average, with pump prices already above £1.60, while analysts warn petrol should not exceed 148p per litre if oil stays around 100 dollars a barrel.
