Amid escalating Middle East conflict, oil prices have risen and analysts predict pump price increases within weeks. However, motorists are advised against panic buying petrol, as wholesale cost increases typically take considerable time to reach forecourts. Current pump prices remain below 2025 starting levels and are approximately 6.5 pence per litre cheaper than the previous year, making a full tank over 3.50 pounds cheaper than early March 2025.

Experts recommend avoiding unnecessary queuing and fuel wastage by adhering to regular refuelling routines.
