00:00After war in Iran, where in Europe have petrol prices spiked?
00:08Motorists in Europe are facing higher fuel costs as the war in Iran rattles global energy markets.
00:14Petrol prices have risen across several European countries in the weeks following US-Israeli strikes on Iran.
00:20But where and by how much?
00:22Data shows that between 23 February and 9 March, some of the largest increases were recorded in Germany and Austria.
00:29In Germany, which already had high fuel costs before the war, prices at the pump rose by nearly 14%, from
00:36€1.82 per litre to €2.08 per litre.
00:40Austria also saw a steep rise, with prices climbing from €1.51 to €1.71 per litre, a rise of
00:4713.7%.
00:49Finland's prices, meanwhile, jumped from €1.71 to €1.93 per litre.
00:54Several other countries, such as Estonia, Poland and Spain, saw increases of roughly 9%.
01:00These numbers are above normal price fluctuations.
01:04The data shows weekly petrol prices in Europe typically move by less than 1% before the war.
01:09In Germany, for example, prices rose by just 0.8% in the week before the war in Iran and
01:16jumped by 14% after the conflict began.
01:19Petrol is made from crude oil, meaning that the increase in oil prices as markets react to tensions in the
01:25Middle East can quickly impact motorists across the world.
