How much have fuel prices gone up due to the Iran war? | BBC News

The BBC Your Voice team have been answering your questions on how the cost of living in the UK might be affected by the US-Israel war with Iran.

It comes after the global benchmark Brent crude oil price briefly hit $119 (£90) per barrel on Tuesday, close to its highest since the start of the US-Israel war with Iran.

In response to the US-Israel air strikes which began on 28 February, Iran has effectively blocked the Strait of Hormuz, a key passage for ships carrying oil.

Wholesale oil prices have surged since and car fuel prices have jumped to their highest in years.
