Petrol Prices Surge in UK

0:00On March 10th, petrol prices across Britain have jumped in the past 10 days, due to the U.S. Israel conflict with Iran pushing oil costs higher. The average price for unleaded now sits at 137.5 p.m. per liter, up 5 p.m. since the war started on February 28th. Diesel has climbed even more, 9 p.m. to 151 p.m. per liter. Drivers can fight back and save nearly 200 pounds a year by using the daily mail's real-time fuel price map. It pulls live data from 15 big retailers, like Tesco, Asda, and BP, showing the cheapest stations nearby. Last year's research showed folks could pocket 10 pounds per fill-up by picking spots 20 p.m. cheaper per liter. Experts from the AA and RAC are telling motorists to skip non-essential trips and drive more efficiently to stretch their fuel. AA President Edmund King warns that longer conflict means gradual pump price hikes, while RAC's Simon Williams predicts unleaded hitting 100, 40 p.m. soon and diesel 160 p.m.

1:04Oil briefly topped $100 per barrel yesterday for the first time since 2022, but brink crude fell over 8 p.m. Morning to under $91 after comments from U.S. President Donald Trump hinting the war might end quickly. UK markets bounced back too, with the FTSC 100 up 1.6 p.m. As tensions simmer in the Middle East, prices could stay volatile, so keep checking local deals and easing off the accelerator to ease the pinch at. The pumps.
