A Derbyshire garage closed fuel sales due to record oil prices from Middle East tensions, leaving rural residents without nearby access.
A small garage in Derbyshire has stopped selling fuel due to soaring prices driven by rising oil costs linked to Middle East tensions, with Brent Crude jumping from $73 to around $108.
Owner Mollie Ellis said costs made it unprofitable to sell super unleaded and diesel, requiring prices near £1.82 and £2 per litre to break even.
The closure leaves rural residents, including elderly people and farmers, without nearby fuel access, as the nearest stations are over four miles away.
The price surge, fueled by global supply concerns, has also increased heating oil costs in the region.
Small businesses face challenges due to limited buying power, and experts warn high prices could persist for years.
