Fuel Prices Surge Amid Middle East Tensions | Leeds News

Petrol prices are set to explode this week, hitting 160 pence per liter as Middle East tensions flare—especially with Iran—sending oil prices soaring. Unleaded jumped 0.6p to 157.81p, diesel spiked 1p to 175.71p. Since July, petrol rose 6.5p, diesel 9p—adding up to £3.50 and £5 more per family car fill-up. Experts predict petrol will hit 160p, diesel could climb to 180p by week’s end, fueled by global oil spikes and UK’s heavy diesel imports. Short ceasefire breaks won’t cut it—consistent drops over weeks are needed to ease prices. Save cash? Track fuel apps for the cheapest stations near you.
