Where is the cheapest place to get petrol and diesel in Eastbourne today (Tuesday, April 5)?

The soaring cost of fuel has contributed to the current cost of living crisis, which has seen inflation near a near 30-year high, and motoring organisations are warning that drivers may struggle to fuel their cars and that businesses may be forced to put up prices if the pattern continues.

Why are fuel prices going up?

There have been many contributing factors over the sudden rise in prices in recent months. One of the main contributors to the rise in fuel prices has been uncertainty over demand outstripping supply.

The Russian invasion of Ukraine has caused major instability in the global economy, as Russia is the world’s third largest oil producer, and is responsible for around 10% of global oil sales.

The RAC’s fuel spokesman Simon Williams said, “Having taken production down when demand fell due to the pandemic, the oil producers are now struggling to get production back up to the required levels to meet demand.”
