AI Summary
Summarized by AI from the source belowThe average price of unleaded petrol has increased by 5p to 167.17p per litre, marking the largest weekly rise since April, as reported by the RAC. Diesel prices similarly rose by 5p, reaching 188.63p. This rise in fuel prices is attributed to supply disruptions caused by the US-Israel war with Iran, which began at the end of February, leading to Brent crude prices returning to $100 a barrel.
