War can significantly impact fuel prices, and the current conflict in the Middle East is no exception. The tensions between the US and Iran have led to a surge in oil prices, with Brent crude rising to $82.38 a barrel, a multi-month high ¹ ² ³.

*Key Factors Influencing Fuel Prices:*

- *Supply Disruptions*: Attacks on energy infrastructure, such as the Strait of Hormuz, can disrupt global oil supplies, driving prices up.
- *Geopolitical Uncertainty*: Escalating conflicts create market volatility, causing prices to fluctuate.
- *Insurance and Transportation Costs*: Increased war-risk premiums and shipping costs are passed on to consumers ⁴ ⁵.

*Forecasts:*

- Standard Chartered predicts Brent crude will average $74 per barrel in Q1 2026, with an annual average of $70.
- UBS forecasts $71 per barrel in Q1, implying around $80 in March, and $72 for 2026.
- The EIA expects prices to fall to $58 in 2026 and $53 in 2027 due to increased global supply ³ ⁶ ⁷.
