Petrol prices jumped to their highest for nearly four years, the ONS said, while diesel also rocketed. <\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Meanwhile, the cost of flying jumped during the key month for summer getaways.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Overall, motor fuel prices rose by 23% compared to August last year.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Oil hit more than $91 a barrel as the US-Israel war with Iran went on. That compares to around $73 just before hostilities began earlier this year.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">As a result, average petrol prices have continued to climb and between July and August, they rose by 9.1p to 161.3p per litre. <\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">&#8220;This is the highest price recorded since November 2022,&#8221; said the ONS. At that point, Russia&#8217;s full-scale invasion of Ukraine had pushed up global energy costs.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Capital Economics said, at this point, the effect of higher oil prices has not spilled over into other areas such as food and drink, where the pace of inflation remained at 1.3% in the year to August.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">But its chief UK economist, Paul Dales, said: &#8220;Everyone knows that bigger rises in inflation are on their way.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Grant Fitzner, chief economist at the ONS, said: &#8220;Rising crude oil and petrol prices increased both the annual cost of raw materials and the price of goods leaving factories respectively.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Dales estimates that a combination of higher oil and gas prices and &#8220;the eventual &#8216;first-round&#8217; effect of businesses passing on some of their higher energy costs&#8221; will lead to inflation peaking at 4.2% in January.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><!-- \u603b\u5bb9\u5668\uff1a\u6700\u5927\u5bbd908px Grid\u7d27\u51d1\u5e03\u5c40 -->\r\n<div style=\"display: grid;
