Here are the latest fuel prices in Mansfield and Ashfield

Luke Bosdet, AA spokesman on pump prices, said: “Pump prices are heading up – wholesale costs had been increasing even before the weekend’s strikes on Iran. However, pump averages today are still below where they started the year and petrol is almost 6.5p a litre cheaper than this time last year. That makes a tank of petrol more than £3.50 cheaper than in early March 2025.

“Drivers in general are heeding advice to stick to their usual refuelling routines. There’s no point wasting time, fuel and money queuing when drivers don’t need to.”

Edmund King, the AA’s president, said: “Pump prices in the coming weeks will inevitably increase, possibly in the short-term back up to where they were at the start of year.

“Petrol in February had been at a low of 131.9p a litre. It had started this year at 135.7p a litre.

“The silver lining is that the country is coming out of winter and the fuel efficiency of cars improves significantly with warmer weather: engines are no longer straining with cold starts or toiling to power heaters, lights and wipers. Typically, car owners see an improvement of three miles per gallon as they get more range out of a tank of fuel. As a rule of thumb, each 1 mpg change is equivalent to 1p on or off a litre of fuel.

“There is no need for drivers to break their refuelling routine. As well as better fuel efficiency, it takes time for cost increases to work their way through to the pump. Supermarkets tend to hold their prices down for longer. However, with the Government’s Fuel Finder pump-price transparency now becoming established, drivers will soon be able to spot all the cheaper fuel stations locally and locate where to keep their fuel costs down.”

RAC head of policy Simon Williams said: “We really shouldn’t see a shock jump in prices at the pumps as wholesale fuel costs had only been rising gradually in recent weeks.

“Even though the price of dated Brent crude rose by $5 a barrel to $78, the impact of this shouldn’t be felt for over a week. But knowing the tendency for price increases to be passed on far more quickly than cuts, on behalf of drivers we urge retailers not to put up the price of fuel they’ve already got in forecourt tanks and reflect any increases in wholesale fuel fairly on the forecourt.”
