GB News: Petrol and diesel drivers warned of huge fuel price hikes impacting millions as Britons face £677 fee
Petrol and diesel drivers warned of huge fuel price hikes impacting millions as Britons face £677 fee
Drivers of petrol and diesel vehicles in the UK are facing an additional £420 million in annual fuel costs due to recent price hikes, with petrol prices rising by 3p per litre and diesel by 5p. This impacts approximately 18.7 million car users, exacerbated by winter conditions and a weakening pound.

The average petrol price is now 137.2p per litre, increasing the cost of filling up by £1.65 for petrol and £2.75 for diesel. The disparity in costs between petrol and electric vehicles continues to grow, with petrol vehicles becoming increasingly expensive to operate. Regional variations show the South East experiencing the highest prices, while the government's fuel duty freeze has prevented even higher costs.
