Here are the latest fuel prices for Hastings and St Leonards

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 per cent 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.”
