  • Motorists could see petrol and diesel prices fall in approximately two weeks if the Iran ceasefire remains in effect, according to motoring groups.
  • An average tank of petrol is currently £13.86 more expensive than before the conflict, with diesel costing £26.80 more.
  • Despite an initial drop, oil prices rose again on Thursday due to concerns over the ceasefire's fragility, following fresh attacks on Lebanon.
  • Brent Crude, the global benchmark, increased by 4.6 per cent to $99.11 a barrel, with U.S. Vice President JD Vance calling the truce "fragile".
  • Experts warn that even if peace holds, the oil market will take significantly longer to recover, particularly concerning the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz.
