Cheapest fuel prices Chichester 2026: where to get petrol and diesel near me - and why are prices going up?
Here are the cheapest places to get fuel in Chichester as the average price of diesel reaches a record high across the UK.
The RAC said on September 28 that the average price of diesel had risen to 199.18p a litre, surpassing the previous record of 199.09p recorded in June 2022.
In a statement released by the RAC on Monday, head of policy Simon Williams said: “The average price of a litre of diesel has now reached the highest level in UK history at 199.18p, in what will be a financial blow to households and businesses that use their vehicles regularly. The cost of filling up an average family car is now almost £110, £31 more than it was at the start of the US/Iran conflict.”
Simon said the new price had ‘eclipsed’ the previous highest price of 199.09p, which was seen in June 2022, adding that diesel prices had entered ‘new uncharted territory’.
He said: “This spells pain not only at the pumps for drivers, but for everyone who buys goods or services that rely on diesel lorries and vans; undoubtedly these increased costs will be passed on to consumers.”
Simon said petrol prices are continuing to rise as well, with a litre of unleaded costing about 174.13p on average, which is 41p more than at the start of the war.
He said: “These extraordinarily high prices are another reminder of just how exposed the UK is to events occurring far away from its shores.”
