A litre of petrol sold at UK forecourts has reached its highest level since September 2012, at 140.22p on average, according to RAC data.
But it's global oil prices, rather than supply chain disruption, that the RAC thinks is the main driver of higher prices at the pump. A barrel of crude oil has doubled in the past year. However, AA spokesperson Luke Bosdet said it will likely be diesel, currently at 143.42p a litre, that breaks its record price first.
These price hikes, along with the natural gas hikes are all artificial. It's just an international government sanctioned cash grab by the producers as most of the world prepares to turn its back on fossil fuels.
Be like mad max before long fighting for n stealing fuel
The Government can help out, but doubt they will. Their VAT take on fuel increases when prices rise, so can reduce fuel duty & still make as much in tax as before.
