A petrol station has explained the profit they receive from a sale after a customer moaned to the cashier: “I was going to put fuel in but not at that price.”
The rising fuel prices has seen petrol prices soar since late February by an average of 24p a litre (to 182.31p) and diesel by 30p (to 188.05p).
It now costs an average family car £100.27 to fill up a tank of petrol and £103.43 for diesel, as demand for non-Russian crude oil is increasing with the war in Ukraine and the pound struggling against the dollar.
