UK petrol prices surged this week as the conflict in the Middle East continues to hit drivers' finances.

When the US-Israel war with Iran began on 28 February, fuel prices climbed as the military strikes severely disrupted the production and transportation of energy across the region.

Prices fell back when the US and Iran agreed to a framework deal to end the fighting in June but have started rising again as tensions resurface.

With the price of wholesale oil back above $100 a barrel, Simon Williams, head of policy at motoring organisation RAC, said "there's no sign of any relief yet" for drivers.

Crude oil is a key ingredient in petrol and diesel, which means that higher wholesale costs make filling up a car more expensive. The price of petrol and diesel is also heavily influenced by demand and refining capacity.
