Hide AdWhy did fuel prices go up so rapidly?
There were many contributing factors over the sudden rise in prices in recent months.
One of the main contributors to the rise in fuel prices has been uncertainty over demand outstripping supply.
The Russian invasion of Ukraine has caused major instability in the global economy, as Russia is the world’s third largest oil producer, and is responsible for around 10% of global oil sales.
The RAC’s fuel spokesman Simon Williams commented. “Having taken production down when demand fell due to the pandemic, the oil producers are now struggling to get production back up to the required levels to meet demand.”

Hide AdWhen does the AA expect fuel prices to drop?
In a recent statement The AA has suggested that the cost of filling up a car is set to drop by £10 within the next fortnight.
They added that the price of petrol has dropped by 2.8p a litre from record highs which would take around £1.50 off the overall price of a full tank of fuel.
Wholesale petrol prices peaked above £1 at the start of June and fell below 80p a litre in the last week.
This supports the AA’s claims surrounding fuel prices and suggests that prices could fall as much as 20p per litre at the pump in the coming weeks.

Hide AdLuke Bosdet at the AA said: “Wholesale petrol’s trajectory, if sustained, would lead to savings from the record highs – providing the fuel trade is prepared to pass them on.
“So far this morning, even with oil rebounding, wholesale petrol remains below 80.5p a litre.”
