Petrol and diesel costs have been on a steady upward trajectory since the beginning of 2024, with RAC Fuel Watch reporting an increase of 9p per liter. The relentless rise in fuel prices, reaching their highest point since November 2023, is placing a significant burden on households, businesses, and the economy. RAC fuel spokesman Simon Williams warns that the situation is unlikely to improve, with wholesale oil prices expected to rise further. Moreover, a staggering 63 percent of road users have noticed an increase in their motoring costs, prompting 18 percent to consider selling their cars amidst the financial strain.
