Show Notes
Petrol prices surged in March, with a twenty pence per litre increase for petrol and forty pence for diesel, following Irans blockade of the Strait of Hormuz. This led to an extra six hundred million pounds spent nationwide, with Chancellor Rachel Reeves benefiting from increased VAT. Drivers and businesses are feeling the strain, with eight in ten relying on cars daily. Experts advise smoother driving to save fuel, but Labour plans to raise fuel duty. As prices continue to rise, drivers seek relief at the pumps.
