Here are the latest fuel prices from across Cumbria for today.
Average price is 188.05p for diesel and 182.31p for petrol and both are likely to rise, according to the RAC. The diesel price on average is the highest it has been in 20 years.
What makes up the cost of a litre of fuel?
The RAC said the price you pay for petrol and diesel at the pumps is governed by wholesale fuel prices, which in turn, are affected by:
- the global price of crude oil
- supply and demand for crude oil
- oil refinery production and capacity
- the pound to dollar exchange rate, as refined fuel is sold in US dollars per metric tonne
- distribution costs
- the margin fuel retailers decide to take
- fuel duty charged by the Government, currently 52.95p a litre
- VAT charged at the end of every forecourt fuel transaction, currently at 20 per cent
While some of these stay largely static – such as the fuel duty rate and VAT – others such as the oil price and dollar to sterling exchange rate can be very volatile. This explains why prices rise and fall. A combination of high oil prices and weak Sterling leads to the highest pump prices.
