Britain's inflation rate climbed to 3.1% in August, up from 2.9% in July, primarily driven by a sharp surge in motor fuel costs 1. Petrol prices increased by 23%, with the average cost rising from 152.2 pence per litre in July to 161.3 pence in August, while diesel prices rose 14.2 pence to 181.8 pence per litre 1. The spike in fuel costs reflects broader energy market pressures, as oil prices have surged above 108 dollars per barrel 1.
