Show Notes
Easter weekend travelers brace for potential fuel shortages as demand surges, with diesel potentially running low within weeks due to high prices. The US-Israel-Iran conflict has caused oil supplies to dwindle, leading to a thirty percent increase in diesel and sixteen percent in petrol since February. Households and businesses are feeling the strain, with petrol jumping twenty pence per litre and diesel forty pence in March alone. Labours planned fuel duty hike in September could add another three pounds per fill-up, exacerbating the situation. Rail shutdowns and strong winds in the north may further congest roads.
