Fuel Prices Rise Again

UK fuel prices rise by 5p a week due to ongoing conflict in the Middle East, with diesel edging towards £1. 95 a litre in some areas.

Fuel prices have climbed about 5p in just one week as a result of the conflict, with diesel prices now reaching nearly £1.

Analysts say every $10 (£7. 44) per barrel increase in the oil price pushes up pump prices by roughly 7p a litre.

The price of petrol and diesel is also heavily influenced by demand and refining capacity, with higher wholesale costs making filling up a car more expensive.

Crude oil is a key ingredient in petrol and diesel, which means that higher wholesale costs make filling up a car more expensive.

Higher fuel prices are having a significant impact on people's daily lives, with many feeling the pinch as they need their cars for work and everyday life.

People in Turriff, Aberdeenshire, tell BBC Scotland News that the rising petrol prices is having a negative effect on their business and way of life.

Antique shop owner Melanie Wilson says she has moved her business closer to home because she was struggling to pay nearly £300 a week on diesel as a result of soaring fuel prices.
