PETROL prices have been on the rise over the past few months, with rising oil prices and supply chain issues blamed for the spiralling costs.

It’s becoming increasingly painful on every trip to the pumps, but this petrol station could be the one in Bradford that hits your wallet the hardest.

The Shell garage, in Rooley Avenue just off Staithgate Roundabout, now has its prices at an eye-watering 150.9p per litre of unleaded and 154.9p per litre of diesel.

It’s the first filling station we’ve seen where the price has clocked over the £1.50 mark, as the cost-of-living crisis continues to bite.

As oil companies continue to report record profits, the cost of fuel has continued to rise, stemming from the shortage crisis that hit the country last year.

A shortage of tanker drivers saw supply plummet and demand skyrocket, with pumps running dry in many places, limits being put on how much fuel people could put in their tank, and prices creeping higher and higher.

This price rise hasn’t halted, with the cost of filling up your car continuing to get more expensive day by day.

And with household energy bills set to rise by almost £700 in April, the price of food increasing and inflation at levels not seen in decades, all while wages remain stagnant, the price rises are putting increasing pressures on people’s finances.

The average price of petrol at UK forecourts has jumped by 0.6p to 146.95p per litre, according to Government figures.

Data published by the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS) showed the average price on Monday was the highest since it hit 147.53p per litre in November last year.

It comes after separate figures from the AA suggested petrol and diesel prices both struck record highs over the weekend.

The new BEIS data showed that the price of diesel increased by 0.8p to 151.10p per litre on Monday compared with last week.

This also fell marginally short of record levels from the last week of November.

Luke Bosdet, the AA’s fuel price spokesperson, said: “The cost of living crisis has been ratcheted up yet another notch, tightening the vice on family spending when it faces other pressures from impending domestic energy cost and tax increases.”
