'Both 石油 and ディーゼル are now the most expensive they've been since November last year, which is bad for 世帯s, 商売／仕事s and the economy, 特に as we know there is a の近くに link between 燃料 prices and インフレーション.

'With 増加するd 緊張s in the Middle East, the cost of oil is only likely to go up which could 押し進める 石油 井戸／弁護士席 above 150p a litre.'

The cost of a バーレル／樽 of Brent 天然のまま oil 現在／一般に sits at just below $91 compared to $75 at the start of the year, its highest point since last October.??

If the UK 普通の／平均（する） price of unleaded does 加速する above 150p, it will be the first time a litre costs more than £1.50 since the middle of November 2023.

'While ディーゼル is getting の近くに to 160p, this is 純粋に 負かす／撃墜する to retailers taking much bigger 利ざやs as there's only been a few pence between the 卸売物価s of both 燃料s since 中央の-March,' Williams said.

'We find it hard to believe that a 利ざや of 13p a litre on ディーゼル ? compared to the long-称する，呼ぶ／期間／用語 普通の／平均（する） of 8p ? is fair.

'This surely won't go unnoticed by the 競争 and Markets 当局 which only two weeks ago 表明するd its 関心 about higher retailer 利ざやs.'

Gordon Balmer, (n)役員／(a)執行力のある director of the 石油 Retailers 協会 (PRA), which 代表するs the nation's 独立した・無所属 filling 駅／配置するs, forecourts at motorway services and supermarkets, collectively accounting for 65 per cent of all UK 燃料 駅／配置するs, said?retailers are' doing all they can to keep prices as low as possible for their 顧客s'.?

反駁するing the RAC （人命などを）奪う，主張するs, he 追加するd: 'It is disappointing that while we are working with the 関連した 政府 departments to lower the costs for 運転者s, we must 絶えず 訂正する the narrative 申し込む／申し出d by some commentators in the マスコミ.

'石油 retailers operate on かみそり thin 利ざやs in a 高度に 競争の激しい market.?

'They have had to 競う with a 相当な 増加する in their operating costs in the form of energy, 商売／仕事 率s, 国家の 最小限 行う, and 記録，記録的な／記録する levels of 小売 罪，犯罪.?

'As most will understand, when costs 増加する, and sales 減ずる, 利ざやs must also 増加する to 確実にする that the 商売／仕事 viable.?

'If 石油 駅／配置するs started going out of 商売／仕事, the country’s energy 安全 would be 妥協d, 運転者s would have to 運動 その上の to fill up on 燃料 and a 相当な number of 職業s would be lost.'

Luke Bosdet, AA 燃料 広報担当者, says pump prices are now climbing に向かって the 150p-a-litre 普通の／平均（する） that drivers across the country 恐れる.

'It is a psychological shock that shouts out from the price boards each time 運転者s 運動 past,' he said.

'The worst part is that 石油 prices will be spurred on by the inflationary 圧力s of higher 需要・要求する as the US モーターing season ぼんやり現れるs.

'The 早期に part of the summer could be a 堅い time for UK 運転者s.'
