Richard Williams, Head of Transport Policy at the Consumer Council, said that the cost of international crude oil has increased by almost doubled in the last year.
"That increase was taking place steadily but as the world economies were coming out of Covid, demand was increasing,” Mr Williams told Belfast Live.
“But with the situation in Ukraine over the last week and the huge uncertainty, that's caused uncertainty on the international markets about the supply chains remaining intact. All of this has meant prices have really shot up in crude oil.
"It probably hasn't quite worked its way through to the pumps yet even though we're seeing these increases. The analytics are suggesting this is not going away quickly and it's probably not peaked yet."
With that in mind, there are six ways in which drivers can make petrol last longer in order to save a few pennies, Birmingham Live reports.
Tyres when under-inflated by just 15psi will use six per cent more fuel on average.
However, checking tyre pressure on a regular basis will help you cut down on costs.

On the climax of Kate Middleton and Prince William‘s visit to Jamaica as part of Queen Elizabeth II’s platinum jubilee, the British royals dipped into the past.

Prince William and Kate dressed in white for the occasion, with the Duke of Cambridge donning his formal military uniform. Together, they stood on the back of a dark green open-top Land Rover – the spitting image of Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip when they visited Kingston, Jamaica, in November 1953.

LONDON -- “The Magician” by Irish writer Colm Toibin won Britain’s Rathbones Folio Prize for literature on Tuesday.Toibin’s fictionalized account of the life of German writer Thomas Mann beat seven other finalists to the multi-genre 30,000 pound ($40,000) prize, including South African writer Damon Galgut’s Booker Prize-winning novel “The Promise,” Selima Hill’s poetry collection “Men Who Feed Pigeons” and Philip Hoare’s art history book “Albert and the Whale.”Toibin, whose novels include “Brooklyn” and “The Master,” was a previous Folio Prize finalist in 2015 for “Nora Webster” and has been on the Booker Prize shortlist three times.The jury of three other writers — Tessa Hadley, William Atkins and Rachel Long — said they surprised themselves by reaching a unanimous decision. They said Toibin’s book “is such a capacious, generous, ambitious novel, taking in a great sweep of 20th century history yet rooted in the intimate detail of one man’s private life.”Founded in 2013 to rival the prestigious Booker Prize, the Folio is open to fiction, nonfiction and poetry from anywhere in the world published in Britain.
