6. Transport & Fuel Costs
Getting around the UK costs far more than it used to.
Why Transport Costs Stay High
- Petrol prices remain near £1.90–£2 per litre.
- Train fares continue to rise each year, often above inflation.
- Insurance premiums are also increasing.
Real Impact
Commuters driving 10,000 miles annually are spending £700 more per year on petrol compared to 2020.
