Hide AdThe price of fuel at the pumps is dictated largely by the price of oil and this has been climbing since early 2021, going from around £55 per barrel in January 2021 to more than $130 per barrel in early March 2022. It is now sitting at more than $115 in late May.
After dropping dramatically in 2020, demand for oil has returned to pre-pandemic levels. However major oil producing nations are struggling to meet this demand, forcing prices up.
The war in Ukraine has also caused uncertainty and instability in global markets.
