Motorists across the Fylde coast are facing rising fuel costs, so we’ve put together a list of the latest unleaded petrol prices at petrol stations across the area.
All prices featured in the gallery have been reported on Fuel Finder, a UK Government service which brings together live retail fuel prices and forecourt information from across the UK. The service helps motor fuel traders meet their reporting duties, enables authorised organisations to find and share trusted open data, and allows people to report issues they spot at forecourts.
Fuel prices continue to rise amid disruption to the global oil market - according to motoring organisation the RAC, diesel prices have reached an all-time high of 199.33p per litre, while petrol is currently costing 174.23p per litre.
The RAC said the war in the Middle East had severely disrupted the production and transportation of wholesale oil across the region over the past seven months, pushing up the cost of fuels made from oil. The organisation said diesel prices had entered “uncharted territory” and served as a reminder of “just how exposed the UK is to events occurring far away”.
Diesel has now risen by 59p per litre, or just under 40 per cent, since the US-Israel conflict with Iran erupted at the end of February. The previous record was 199.09p per litre in June 2022, following Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine.
The increase means filling an average family car with diesel now costs £110 — £31 more than at the start of the conflict. Petrol prices are now 41p per litre higher than at the start of the conflict, although they remain well below the peak reached in 2022.
