Egham, Surrey, UK. 18th April, 2026. A BP petrol station in Egham, Surrey where prices were today 158.9 per litre for petrol and 192.9 per litre for diesel. Although prices have been more stable this week, it has been reported that Iran has once again closed the Strait of Hormuz thereby stopping oil tankers getting through. This is likely to put up the price of fuel again. Credit: Maureen McLean/Alamy Live News
