Fuel prices have risen by a third since the Brexit vote.
Fuel prices have risen by a third since the Brexit vote in 2016, despite warnings that they would drop if Britain left the EU. The price of petrol has increased from £1.24 per litre to £1.61 per litre, while diesel has gone up from £1.31 to £1.53 per litre, according to data from the Office for National Statistics (ONS).
The increase in fuel prices has been attributed to several factors, including rising oil prices and a weak pound making it more expensive for foreign investors to buy UK fuel stocks.
Oil is priced in US dollars and as the pound dropped after the Brexit vote it became more expensive for UK consumers who are still paying off debts incurred during their holiday.
