Drivers warned that higher petrol prices at the pump could hit in 14 days – how to reduce your bill
DRIVERS are being warned that petrol prices could rise within 14 days as global oil prices soar.
Brent crude oil jumped nearly 10% before settling 7% higher at $74 a barrel, following Israel‘s attack on Iran‘s nuclear programme last night.
Experts say this marks the end of the cheapest petrol prices in the UK in four years, with wholesale costs already up by 3p per litre in the past week.
Luke Bosdet, spokesperson for the AA, said: “Bottom-line, the falls in the average pump price of petrol that took it down from 139.8p a litre in February to 132p this week will come to an end.”
This increase was already expected, as the AA warned in May that wholesale prices tend to rise during the US summer driving season, when demand for petrol increases.
However, Israel’s attack overnight has added more pressure on fuel prices.
Luke added: “Inevitably, conflict in the Middle East forces up the price of oil and threatens higher pump prices in the UK.”
That said, it typically takes around two weeks for changes in wholesale fuel costs to be reflected at the pump, as fuel needs time to move through the supply chain to petrol stations, according to the RAC.
In general, if the exchange rate stays the same, a $2 change in oil prices usually leads to a 1p per litre change at the pump.
To help lessen the impact of rising pump prices, Rhydian Jones, a car insurance expert at Confused.com, advised drivers to shop around for the best deals to save money.
He added: “Simple changes to your driving habits can help reduce fuel consumption and cut down how often you need to fill up.
“These include removing unnecessary weight from your car, keeping tyres properly inflated, driving gently without overusing the accelerator, keeping windows closed, and avoiding idling whenever possible.”
How can I find the cheapest petrol stations?
Websites like Petrolprices.com can help you find the cheapest petrol stations near you.
The site covers over 3,800 petrol stations using CMA data, providing daily price updates for unleaded, diesel, super unleaded, and premium diesel.
To use it, simply register, enter your postcode, choose how far you’re willing to travel (up to 20 miles), and select your fuel type.
Keep in mind, you can only search the website five times a day, but downloading the app gives you unlimited searches.
Your savings will depend on how often you fill up, which varies based on how frequently you use your car.
Prices also differ by location and change week to week, so it’s always worth checking to make sure you’re getting the best deal.
Petrolprices.com isn’t the only option for comparing fuel costs.
Fleet News and Allstar also offer tools to check petrol prices across different counties, letting you see how your area compares to the UK average.
Plus, Confused.com has a petrol price checker for registered users, allowing them to find fuel prices within a 5, 10, or 25-mile radius.
How else can I cut fuel costs?
ONE way to save is by signing up for major supermarket loyalty schemes, which can give you discounts of up to 5p per litre.
Esso has partnered with Nectar, allowing you to get 5p off per litre when you redeem 300 Nectar points.
BP drivers can use the BPme rewards card to earn one point for every £1 spent in-store or on a litre of regular fuel, with £1 off fuel or shopping for every 200 points.
Loyalty schemes from Texaco, Shell, Sainsbury’s, and Tesco also offer savings on fuel and shopping bills.
You can further reduce fuel costs by driving more efficiently by:
- Accelerating gradually without over-revving.
- Driving in the highest gear possible.
- Allowing your car to slow down naturally instead of braking unnecessarily.
Don’t forget about clutter in your car.
Extra weight from tools, toys, or rubbish can increase fuel consumption by as much as 12%.
Clearing out unnecessary items can make a noticeable difference to your costs.
I partied with Harry over a wild summer & saw the REAL ‘party prince’ whose outrageous stunts would leave Meghan stunned
WADING past portaloos on piggy back, glugging VIP cocktails and wrestling in the mud with Mike Tindall, it was a vision of the notorious ‘Party Prince’ few of us would recognise today.
But having spent a wild summer hanging out backstage with Prince Harry, I’ve seen first-hand another remarkable, hidden side to the royal – one he’d no doubt rather wife Meghan Markle didn’t know.
In those carefree days where he was merrily bombing around music festivals – even secretly getting up onstage in an outrageous disguise – I’ve never seen him happier, and now fear he’ll live to regret refusing to ever come back to the UK.
The Duke of Sussex – now living in the States with Meghan and their children Archie, six and Lilibet, four – recently said losing the legal challenge over his security funding means it’s impossible for him to bring his family back to the UK safely.
It’s a crying shame, as I’ve seen how much he clearly once enjoyed being in the thick of it with ordinary fans and punters back home – a distant memory from the troubled exile who now looks like he has the weight of the world on his shoulders.
Harry, 40, is so far removed from the carefree lad I hung out with at festivals back in 2011, when he was known as ‘The Party Prince’ and ranked as everyone’s favourite royal.
He was a regular attendee at the Hard Rock Festival in London‘s Hyde Park – one of the most popular summer festivals because they spent millions building a fully-functioning restaurant backstage in the VIP section, so everyone wanted to blag entry.
The first night in June 2011 had The Killers headlining and it was typical English summer weather, absolutely pouring down. But the rain didn’t put good old Harry off having a great time.
He arrived in the backstage area with his cousin Princess Eugenie as well as Gossip Girl star Chace Crawford. The VIP area was really muddy and people were getting filthy just wading their way to the toilets.
The Hard Rock Café bouncer, John Pascale, who was nicknamed Big Johnny, realised this was not fitting for a prince and leapt to offer his help.
He gave Harry a piggy back to and from the posh portaloos. It was quite the sight to see The Queen‘s grandson on the back of this huge bloke laughing and messing around.
John joked with the prince that he would happily carry him to the side of the stage, too, to watch the show if required.
Harry was hysterically laughing at the whole situation and everyone who worked there commented how super nice and down to earth he was.
He sat at a normal table and tucked into the famous Hard Rock burgers and plenty of cocktails.
One of the staff told me that Harry had a special connection with Hard Rock Café, as his mum, Princess Diana, used to bring him and his brother Prince William to the restaurant on Hyde Park Corner when they were younger.
She was also a fan and famously wore a Hard Rock Café jacket when she went down the log fume with them at Chessington World of Adventures.
In a nod to this memory, the staff presented him with a specially made T-shirt that said Hard Rock Harry on it – and he was thrilled.
Royal rumbled
He clearly had a great time as he returned to Hyde Park the following weekend for Wireless Festival. When I arrived, there were murmurs that Prince Harry was planning to attend.
I imagined with a 65,000 strong crowd the chances of seeing him again would be slim – after all surely he would be backstage surrounded by bodyguards?
So I couldn’t believe my eyes when I saw him larking around in the VIP section with cousin Zara Tindall and her then-fiancé Mike (the pair married three weeks later) in front of the main stage.
I was never going to pass up the opportunity to speak to a royal, so rocked over to Harry, introduced myself and asked for a selfie.
He said: “I’m sorry I can’t take pictures as I’m not here in an official capacity.” I said with a wink, “Well if I stand here and take a picture of myself and you happen to be in the background… so be it.”
I then asked him if he was excited for the show… or did he prefer Glee? He’d spent some time at Hard Rock Calling the previous weekend hanging out with the cast of the teen singing show ahead of their sold out O2 gig.
He chuckled telling me: “Nah, I don’t even like Glee. I’m looking forward to watching the Black Eyed Peas. I’m gonna have a bit of a dance and enjoy the sun.”
Go wild with cousins
After some back and forth about our favourite acts, it became clear to Harry that I’d dragged my mate Ollie along as a plus one, and that he was more interested in the free bar than the Prince’s favourite R&B act.
Perhaps tired of our music analysis, he gave a subtle nod to a man who had been lingering nearby. Suddenly, I felt a tap on the shoulder and he said: “I think you’ve chatted to the Prince enough, can you please move away?”
We did as we were asked and hit the bar, but when the music started and more gig-goers swarmed to the small VIP area in front of the stage, we ended up back beside Harry.
He clearly had been enjoying the beverages as much as us, as by now he and Mike Tindall were in a playful mood.
It was not the most princely behaviour and they kept diving at each other. Finally Harry managed to knock the former rugby player to the ground and the pair kept wrestling, while Zara laughed at their antics and the rest of us watched on in amusement and astonishment.
Later the royal lifted a pal’s little girl on his shoulders so she could see the band.
Hilarious disguise
While Harry didn’t seem bothered about being recognised, he used a slightly different tactic when he attended the 2009 Barclaycard Wireless Festival in London‘s Hyde Park.
He was backstage when Basement Jaxx played their set. They revealed afterwards that they had invited him to guest as a dancing gorilla.
Jaxx star Felix Buxton said: “We were lucky enough to meet Prince Harry. I think he was more interested in Dizzee Rascal.
“Anyway, we met Harry before the show and said, ‘If you want to be a gorilla on stage, help yourself’.”
Harry duly agreed. One of the requirements of being a dancing gorilla was to not overdo it on stage, but apparently Harry got a bit too excited.
“[One gorilla] was doing this kind of silly disco dancing,” Felix said.
Perhaps all Harry needs is a trip home, a good festival and an open bar to remind him what he used to love so much about the UK
“Often we say, can you try and get into the part of being a gorilla? Don’t try act like you’re on a stag do. So I went over and rugby tackled him down.
“And after doing that, I looked out to side-stage and saw [security] with a hand on an earpiece. [I thought], ‘Oh god, I forgot! Maybe that’s him?’ It looked like it was serious on a presidential level.”
He later went to the dressing room to say sorry to the Duke of Sussex: “I quite pathetically did a curtsy to apologise for knocking him over.”
But it was ok as Harry enjoyed the anonymity of monkeying around in front of a large crowd.
Felix added: “He said that was one of the best moments of his life. He might look back now and think, ‘Oh god yeah, I was so free'”.
When I saw the picture Meghan posted on their eldest child Archie’s sixth birthday, looking alone at the sun distantly, it made me sad.
Having spent so little time in the UK, neither of the couple’s children have got to know their cousins, George, Charlotte and Louis.
While that summer, Harry got to go wild with his cousins Zara and Eugenie, it seems unlikely his own offspring will get to have such adventures.
Perhaps all Harry needs is a trip home, a good festival and an open bar to remind him what he used to love so much about the UK.
‘Son of Concorde’ bosses reveal over 600 routes could see flight times HALVED including 3.5-hour trips from UK to US
MAKERS of a supersonic plane have revealed there are more than 600 global routes where Concorde-style speedy flights could slash flying times by as much as half.
And a 3.5 hour trip between the UK and US is “absolutely” possible, the company told The Sun.
Boom Technology has been testing its XB-1 test jet which managed to fly faster than the speed of sound in January.
One of the hurdles they’ve overcome from supersonic flying is the sound.
The firm’s jet, aptly dubbed the “Son of Concorde”, has no audible sonic boom.
A number of orders from the likes of American Airlines, United Airlines, and Japan Airlines have already been made for Boom Technology’s passenger jet model, Overture.
President Trump recently signed an executive order effectively lifting a 52-year ban on civil supersonic flight over land in the US.
“While Boom is pleased to see the regulatory pathways to supersonic flight clearing, Boom’s business case has never been predicated on regulatory change,” a spokesperson for Boom told The Sun.
“There are over 600 global routes that are economically viable for supersonic flight—even without going supersonic over land.
“Now that rules are being updated to allow boomless supersonic flight over land in the US, additional routes will benefit from speedups.
“Boom’s supersonic airliner, Overture, will fly transatlantic routes, such as New York to London, at its full cruising speed of Mach 1.7 over water – about twice as fast as today’s conventional airliners.”
“Boomless Cruise enables Overture to fly at speeds up to Mach 1.3 over land without an audible boom – up to 50% faster than subsonic jets – reducing US coast-to-coast flight times by up to 90 minutes.
“International routes with overland segments can also benefit from increased speeds.”
The company also revealed that Overture “remains on target” to get certification from relevant bodies including the FAA by the end of the decade so it can carry passengers.
Bosses are aiming to roll out the first Overture in three years, and be flight testing in four.
To accomplish that, they expect production of the first aircraft in the “Superfactory” to start next year.
WHY DID CONCORDE FAIL?
CONCORDE was the supersonic passenger jet considered the ultimate luxury in air travel.
Air France and British Airways announced they would be retiring their fleet of Concorde planes on April 10, 2003.
The plane had its first commercial flight on January 21, 1976, so was retired after 27 years of service and 50,000 flights.
Several reasons led to the decision to retire Concorde.
Air France and British Airways cited low passenger numbers and high maintenance costs.
By the early noughties, the planes were outdated and expensive to run, despite being incredibly advanced when they were first introduced almost three decades previously.
The 9/11 terrorist attack in 2001 majorly impacted passenger numbers, as people opted not to fly.
Passenger numbers also fell after an Air France Concorde crashed just minutes after taking off from Paris in July 2000.
The disaster killed all 109 people on board and four others on the ground.
The plane ran over a small piece of metal on the runway, which burst a tyre and caused an engine to ignite.
It was also the only aircraft in the British Airways fleet that required a flight engineer.

By the end of this year, they expect to produce thrust during fully-operational engine core tests for Overture’s bespoke engine, Symphony.
“Boom’s current order book accounts for the first five years of production at the Overture Superfactory in North Carolina,” the spokesperson added.
“Airlines have been very receptive to Overture and the competitive advantages of supersonic travel.
“In fact, the passenger research we have conducted indicates that 87% of passengers are willing to switch from their preferred airline in order to gain access to supersonic travel.”
THE RISE OF SUPERSONIC AND HYPERSONIC
There are several types of hypersonic and supersonic jets. A breakdown of what's been happening in the industry and what's expected in the coming years.

Little-known NFL rule which could see contract rebel Shemar Stewart opt OUT of Bengals move and re-enter 2026 NFL Draft
THE Cincinnati Bengals are locked in one of the most interesting contract sagas ever seen.
Rookie first-round pick Shemar Stewart has yet to sign his contract with the Bengals.
Stewart is one of just four first-round rookies that have yet to sign their rookie deals.
His issue isn’t about the money though, it’s the clauses that the team is including in his deal.
Previous contracts included a clause that if a player got into any sort of trouble, their contract guarantees would be void.
Stewart’s contract included a change to that clause, meaning all of his guarantees for all four years would be void.
This is a completely new concept, and Stewart and his agent won’t accept being the guinea pigs.
“In my case, I’m 100 percent right,” Stewart said before leaving training camp this week.
“I’m not asking for nothing that’s never been done before.
“But in [the team’s] case, y’all just want to win an argument instead of winning more games, in my opinion.”
Stewart has yet to play a single snap for the Bengals, but already has a fractured relationship with the team.
If that relationship is irreparable, how do both sides move forward.
Well, there is actually a rule buried in the NFLPA’s agreement with the NFL that could give Stewart a second chance at the draft.
If he holds out on his contract and doesn’t sign by the time the 2026 NFL Draft rolls around, he can re-enter and be drafted by a new team.
However, that does mean he wasted an entire year of his career.
There are some other options that Stewart can try though if he doesn’t sign the contract.
First, he can request a trade out of Cincinnati to a team that is willing to give him a normal contract.
He could also go back to college, but it would likely require a legal battle.
He would also be considered a Bengals 2026 draft pick after that year in college, so it wouldn’t change anything.
Stewart could try playing in the UFL or CFL, but he would have to do so for three years to leave the Bengals.
The NFL’s collective bargaining agreement states that if a player participates in a rival league withing 12 months of being drafted, the team that picked him holds his rights for three years.
Stewart is in a tricky situation, and there seems to be no end in sight.
How Israel decapitated Iran’s military & nuke programme in just ONE NIGHT as years of planning revealed by IDF insiders
ISRAEL’S audacious blitz of Iran that killed top generals and targeted its nuclear sites took years of planning, IDF sources have revealed.
Intelligence agents spent months tracking senior commanders before taking them down in pinpoint strikes in the dead of night.
Israel dealt a major blow to Iran’s chain of command – with Maj. Gen. Mohammad Bagheri, the second-highest commander after Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei among those eliminated.
Revolutionary Guard chief Hossein Salami and Gen. Gholamali Rashid, deputy commander in chief of the armed forces were also wiped out.
Their inglorious deaths came as Israel unleashed an unprecedented attack, dubbed Rising Lion, on Iran‘s nuclear sites – with blasts first heard in Tehran around 3.30am local time (1am BST).
Missiles pounded Iran’s main nuclear enrichment site, the Natanz atomic facility, and the regime’s ballistic missile arsenal.
At least six of Iran’s top nuclear scientists were killed during the sweeping assault.
Iran has already fired around 100 drones at Israel while vowing bloody revenge and warning strikes were a “declaration of war”.
Senior military and political sources in Israel told The Sun in April how it was poised to strike Iran within weeks as its nuclear scheme should have been dealt with “a long time ago”.
Retired IDF general Miri Eisin today said Israel has been planning to blitz Iran for at least a decade – and this exact plot would have been months in the making.
Eisin, who advised Benjamin Netanyahu’s PM predecessor Ehud Olmert, told The Sun: “[The attack] is years in the making.
“But this is something which evolves, meaning it isn’t that the specific plan that is still being enacted today is necessarily the one that they started thinking of years ago.
“But Israel has been planning as a plan to attack the nuclear and projectile facilities for many years because of the Islamic regime’s threat.
“That plan evolved over the years, meaning you’re always looking at what happens in the Islamic regime, the new nuclear sites, the new capabilities that they built, and you have to adapt all of the time.”
Israel’s decision to strike comes after a senior diplomatic source in Jerusalem told The Sun Iran was “much closer than anyone can be comfortable with” in developing a nuclear weapon.
Fears have been rising internationally about Iran’s nuclear programme as its progress has become more and more cloak and dagger in recent years.
The UN watchdog this week confirmed the country is breaking its obligations for the first time in 20 years.
Israel’s attack overnight – aimed at diminishing the regime’s nuclear threat – was spearheaded by Mossad commandos who smuggled kamikaze drones and precision weapons into Iran.
Their daring mission paved the way for Israeli forces to hammer 100 targets using 200 war jets – eliminating military chiefs and scientists and striking atom sites.
Which Iranian military chiefs and scientists have been killed?
ISRAEL has dealt a major blow to Iran's command chain - wiping out several of its top brass.
Key nuclear scientists have also been eliminated in Israel’s overnight strikes.
Those killed include:
Generals
- Maj. Gen. Mohammad Bagheri, chief of staff of the armed forces and the second-highest commander after Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei
- Gen. Hossein Salami, commander in chief of the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps
- Gen. Gholamali Rashid, deputy commander in chief of the armed forces
- Ali Shamkhan, key adviser and confidant of Khamenei
- Amir Ali Hajizadeh, commander of the IRGC Aerospace Forces
Nuclear scientists
- Fereydoun Abbasi, the former head of the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran
- Dr Mohammad Mehdi Tehranchi, theoretical physicist and president of the Islamic Azad University in Tehran
Eisin, who served in the IDF for 20 years and has a background in military intelligence, said a combination of different security and intelligence capabilities would have spent months tracking senior commanders.
Speaking from Tel Aviv, she said: “You have to find them and you’re attacking them all at the exact same time.
“So it’s putting together that intel picture of where they are and knowing that at that specific time you’re getting all of them.
“In addition, you have to gather intel on all of the different nuclear sites and air defence sites and projectile sites. Those are three different elements.
“It’s the intel of knowing where they [commanders] are, and then it’s the operational decision of doing it, because you understand that they’re all where you want them to be simultaneously.
“It is very complex.”
An IDF source, speaking to The Sun in Israel earlier this year, said its forces had been working for months to clear the path for a major strike on Iran.
They told how three air campaigns in Iran have eliminated strategic aerial defences which were “the main obstacle” protecting the rogue nation’s nuke facilities.
The insider said the IDF has also worked to significantly downgrade the threat posed by Hamas, Hezbollah and the Houthi – effectively leaving Iran isolated.
Vitally, this allowed Israeli aircraft to get to Iran’s borders without fear of being blasted.
The overnight attack is just the first phase of what is set to be two weeks of action aimed at ran’s atom threat.
Ex-military intelligence agent Dr Raz Zimmt, whose work on focussed on Iran, previously told The Sun it would require a “long process” to properly downgrade Tehran’s nuclear capabilities.
But he conceded it would be highly unlikely Iran’s nuclear scheme could ever be fully wiped out.
“It’s too scattered, the knowledge and technology are already inside Iran,” Dr Zimmt said.
The Sun last month exposed one of Iran’s secret nuclear sites – dubbed “Rainbow” – but there are believed to be more clandestine bases.
IDF Brigadier General Effie Defrin today confirmed it will be a “long campaign” against Iran – but that the military was “well prepared” to continue until achieving its goal.
Eisin said the IDF will be continuing to gather intel and launching pre-emptive attacks.
She said: “It isn’t that we destroyed everything that Iran has. It’s the beginning of the campaign.
“I think that we will continue to attack. They will try to attack us.
“We have our defence systems, but it isn’t over. We’re still right at the beginning of this.”
Israel hoped to coordinate an attack with the US after enraged Donald Trump gave Iran 60 days to thrash out a nuclear deal – a deadline that passed on Wednesday night.
Trump had warned Israel not to undermine talks with Tehran that could jeopardise his administration’s efforts.
But Nadav Shtrauchler, who previously advised Netanyahu, said the PM wanted to cement his legacy.
He The Sun: “Eliminating Iran, the head of the snake, is his life mission.
“He sees them as the immediate threat and as today’s Nazis.
“He said that he will not stop until he strikes the head of the snake.
“And after so many years of planning it started with a very strong offensive opening.
“He planned it and waited for the right timing and I’m sure it was not an easy decision to go without the US – but it had come to a place that we had to do it.”
The US has publicly distanced itself from the Israeli operation and Trump today urged Iran to make a deal before it’s too late.
Writing on Truth Social, the president said: “I gave Iran chance after chance to make a deal.
“There has already been great death and destruction, but there is still time to make this slaughter, with the next already planned attacks being even more brutal, come to an end.
“Iran must make a deal, before there is nothing left.”
Beloved brewery announces sudden closure in just weeks with no reason for shutdown leaving fans in the dark
A BELOVED brewery has announced a sudden closure happening in just a few weeks time, and no reason has been given why.
Fans have been completely left in the dark to the shutdown, as the owner posts an emotional farewell message.
Eternity Brewing Co., based in Livingston County Detroit, Michigan, has announced that it is closing its doors after June.
The beloved spot in Livingston County will officially be shutting at the end of the month, and it is still not known why.
Fans had been left in the dark about the closure, and had no idea it was happening until it was announced.
On social media, owner Ethan Whitesell posted an emotional goodbye message to customers.
He said that the decision to close was “not an easy choice” and called his time as owner one of the “greatest joys” of his life.
Ethan wrote on Facebook: “Running this place has been one of the greatest joys and challenges of my life, but in my current circumstances, I no longer have the ability to keep up the fight.
“This was not an easy choice, and it’s one that comes with a lot of mixed emotions.”
Whitesell bought the brewery in 2019.
FINAL WEEKS
In the run up to closure, customers at Eternity Brewing Co. can expect a fond farewell.
The company will hold various events, barrel releases, and more, leading up to the final pour.
Customers have been invited to come and clear out inventory and “share some laughs” before closing.
Ethan will be “tapping our remaining brews, filling a ton of cans, opening up the barrels we had slated for release this month, and putting on some final events to celebrate what Eternity has been over the years.”
As far as the future of the brewery goes, Ethan has invited anyone to take over the company.
He continued: “For anyone who’s ever dreamed of running their own brewery, Eternity Brewing is ready and waiting for a new chapter.

Another said: “I am so sorry to hear this. Eternity has always been such a welcoming place and I have met so many friends there from my first visit when Eternity first opened.
“Such a great place, great beers and great friends.”
And a third added: “Eternity has been my safe place and my Cheers.
“I have met and become friends with so many awesome people.
“Your place has had a big impact on my life and I can’t imagine not sitting at the end of the bar anymore.
“I will miss the atmosphere Eternity has. No other place like it in the area.”
