Fuel Prices for UK Motorists Rose by Record in March on Iran War

The war in Iran prompted a record surge in the price of petrol and diesel in the UK last month, adding to pressure on Prime Minister Keir Starmer to step in to help motorists.

“March has been truly unprecedented — fuel prices have never risen this fast in a single month,” motoring group RAC said, while noting that the outright cost of filling up remains lower than in 2022.
