Petrol prices are higher for drivers preparing for the August bank holiday, with forecourt costs reaching their highest level since 2022, according to the outlet. The reporting says the change means a fuller tank costs more this year compared with last year’s bank holiday period.
One estimate cited by the source puts the cost of filling a typical family car’s 55-litre tank at around £89 for this weekend. It compares this with about £74 for the same tank size during last year’s August bank holiday. The coverage frames the increase around expected higher travel volumes over the bank holiday, though it does not detail specific causes for the price rise.
Overall, the available reporting focuses on the year-on-year comparison in fuel costs and the timing of the increase as motorists plan road trips.
