Drivers Urged to Fill up Before Thursday 5pm to Save Money as Fuel Prices Soar

Experts say midweek refuelling could save drivers 2-3 pence per litre as fuel prices remain elevated after Middle East supply disruption.

  • Drivers are being urged to top up their tanks before 5pm on Thursday to secure the best fuel prices, as costs typically climb toward the weekend.
  • William Fletcher, CEO of Car.co.uk, said prices usually rise Thursday evening and stay elevated through Sunday, as retailers capitalize on increased weekend leisure travel demand.
  • The United States and Iran agreed on Tuesday to a two-week ceasefire requiring the Strait to be reopened "immediately" and "completely" to restore global oil shipments.
  • Benchmark Brent crude prices fell by about 13 per cent to $94.80 a barrel, though costs remain above the approximately $70 level when the conflict began on February 28.
  • Experts caution that significant savings at the pump may take two weeks to materialize, while some regions continue to face supply shortages despite the global price decline.
