flag UK may raise fuel duty by 10p/litre in November, adding ~£6 to refuel a car, amid fiscal pressures.

flag UK drivers may face a 10p per litre fuel duty increase starting in November, as Chancellor Rachel Reeves considers reversing a 5p cut extended to March 2026. flag The potential move, expected in the November 26 Budget, could raise fuel costs by up to 12p per litre when combined with VAT, adding about £6 to refueling a family car. flag Despite earlier commitments to maintain the cut, fiscal pressures and a projected £40bn deficit have led to renewed scrutiny. flag Reeves confirmed the freeze will continue for now, citing hardship for working households, though the decision will cost over £3 billion. flag The final decision remains pending.
