UK fuel prices have spiked sharply since the US-Iran conflict began on 28 February 2026, with diesel reaching 191p per litre — within 8p of its all-time record — and petrol climbing to 158p, up 23p in five weeks. The fragile two-week ceasefire has done little to ease prices, as Iran retains control of the Strait of Hormuz and Brent crude hovers near $100 per barrel, while the Competition and Markets Authority warns that retailer margins remain at historically elevated levels.
