据爱尔兰观察报网站6月8日报道，柴油的平均成本为每升 1.32 英镑（1.53 欧元），这是自2020 年1月以来的最高水平。

　　驾车者被警告说，汽油价格在达到两年来的高点后，预计还会进一步上涨。

　　英国政府的数据显示，在英国，一升汽油的平均价格为1.29英镑(1.50欧元)。

　　根据PA通讯社的分析，自2019 年6月以来，汽油的价格还没有这么昂贵过。

　　柴油的平均成本为每升1.32 英镑（1.53欧元），这是自2020 年1月以来的最高水平。

　　RAC基金会汽车研究慈善机构主任Steve Gooding说：“自去年11月中旬以来，汽油和柴油的价格每周都在上涨——总共持续了将近七个月。

　　“上涨是由石油需求推动的，布伦特原油现在每桶 70 美元以上，而一年多前约为每桶 20 美元。

　　“这反映了英国工作日汽车交通量的增加，现在又回到了疫情爆发前的水平。

　　“这似乎意味着那些迫切地希望在疫情防控限制解除后，在好天气时走出家门的人们，会不得不掏出更多的腰包给家里的汽车加油——如果（目前来看很有可能）燃料的成本继续上升的话。”

　　2020年5月，当新冠肺炎疫情大流行导致全球停产使得石油价值暴跌时，平均燃料成本仅为每升汽油1.05英镑（1.22欧元）和每升柴油1.12英镑（1.30欧元）。

　　从那时起，加满一辆油箱容量为55 升的汽车所需的汽油成本增加了约13英镑（15.10 欧元），柴油成本增加了约11英镑（12.77欧元）。

　　Price of petrol in UK hits two-year high

　　Diesel costs an average of ￡1.32 (€1.53) per litre, which is a level not seen since January 2020.

　　Motorists are being warned to expect petrol prices to rise even further after reaching a two-year high.

　　A litre of the fuel costs an average of ￡1.29 (€1.50) at UK forecourts, British government figures show.

　　It has not been that expensive since June 2019, according to analysis by the PA news agency.

　　Diesel costs an average of ￡1.32 (€1.53) per litre, which is a level not seen since January 2020.

　　Steve Gooding, director of motoring research charity the RAC Foundation, said: “Petrol and diesel pump prices have now risen every week since the middle of last November – almost seven months in total.

　　“The increase is being driven by demand for oil with Brent Crude now above $70 a barrel compared with around $20 a barrel a little over a year ago.

　　“This in itself mirrors the rise in travel with weekday car traffic in the UK now back to where it was pre-pandemic.

　　“It looks like people who are looking forward to getting out and about in the good weather we’re having, eagerly awaiting the ending of the remaining Covid restrictions, will have to dig ever deeper into their pockets to fill up the family car if, as seems likely, the cost of forecourt fuel keeps on rising.”

　　Average fuel costs were just ￡1.05 (€1.22) per litre of petrol and ￡1.12 (€1.30) per litre of diesel in May 2020, when the global shutdown caused by the coronavirus pandemic led to a collapse in the value of oil.

　　Since then, the cost of filling up a typical 55-litre car has risen by around ￡13 (€15.10) for petrol and ￡11 (€12.77) for diesel.
