UK Diesel Hits £2 a Litre in Southern England as Record March Fuel Rise Squeezes Drivers

Diesel jumped close to £2 per litre at select forecourts in southern England this week, with March logging the steepest monthly surge on record for UK pump prices. The climb compounds an ongoing fuel shock, fueled by tensions in the Middle East and a spike in crude. Timing here is critical. The squeeze is hitting right ahead of the Easter bank holiday, and on Thursday, a Bank of England survey reported that British companies expect to hike prices at a quicker pace over the next year. Elliott Jordan-Doak, senior economist at Pantheon Macroeconomics, warned that “second-round effects” will keep haunting rate-setters.

Asda warns of temporary petrol pump shortages as UK fuel prices break 150p amid Iran war

Asda warned on Friday that some of its UK petrol pumps were facing temporary shortages after motorists rushed to fill up and average petrol prices climbed above 150 pence a litre for the first time in nearly two years. The supermarket said the strain reflected a jump in demand as the war involving Iran, the United States and Israel rattled oil markets. The timing matters. The warning comes just ahead of the Easter getaway, and Asda runs about 800 fuel stations, making it Britain’s second-largest road-fuel retailer after Tesco. RAC data showed average unleaded at 150.11 pence a litre and diesel at 177.68 pence, raising the odds of more local outages if drivers keep topping up early.

Lloyds Banking Group Share Price Holds Near 93p as FCA Motor Finance Update Looms

Lloyds Banking Group shares held near 92.68 pence in London on Tuesday, as investors sized up a fresh date for Britain’s motor-finance compensation plan and another shaky session for bank stocks. The Financial Conduct Authority said it would spell out its approach on March 30, after markets close. The timing matters. The FCA’s redress plan — compensation for customers who were not properly told about commissions on car loans — has been one of the biggest overhangs for a small group of lenders, and Reuters has reported both that the watchdog put the bill near 11 billion pounds last year and that Lloyds is among the banks with material exposure.

UK Fuel Prices: Diesel Could Hit £2 a Litre Within Weeks as Oil Surge Reignites Fuel Duty Fight

Traders sounded the alarm Friday: British diesel might break through the £2 per litre mark in a matter of weeks, with Brent crude holding above $110 following new Middle East attacks. The move is ramping up pressure on ministers. It’s not just pump prices in the spotlight. Diesel powers vans, trucks, and tractors—so any spike can ripple into freight costs, consumer prices, and inflation. The Bank of England on Thursday signaled it’s prepared to respond if energy prices, driven by conflict, threaten its 2% inflation target.

UK Petrol Prices Jump Again as Iran Conflict Opens a 49p Gap Between M1 Pumps and London’s Cheapest Stations

UK petrol prices ticked higher on Tuesday, with almost 49 pence a litre separating the most expensive motorway stop on the M1 from the lowest price posted at a London forecourt. Crude held above $100 a barrel, underpinned by supply worries tied to the conflict. RAC figures put average unleaded at 142.29p per litre, diesel at 162.06p. Spot checks from the Guardian and Secret London found prices ranging from 172.9p on the M1 to as low as 123.9p in Camden. Right now, the spread is hard to ignore. Motorists are feeling the squeeze from both ends: national average prices keep climbing, and the gap between local stations has gotten wide enough to make picking your route pay. The timing isn’t
