NORTHWICH, UNITED KINGDOM - SEPTEMBER 16: Fuel prices are displayed at Texaco petrol station on September 16, 2026 in Northwich, United Kingdom. The UK inflation rate rose to 3.1% in the year to August 2026, in part, due to surging motor fuel prices. Driven by global oil price spikes because of conflict in the Middle East, overall fuel costs rose 23% year-on-year, with both petrol and diesel costs increasing sharply during August to reach their highest levels since late 2022.
