Motorists in the UK have been hit hard by soaring petrol and diesel costs, which have been exacerbated by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

Rising prices at the pump come amid a broader cost of living crisis that has seen many Britons struggle to afford essentials and bills.

We would like to hear from drivers working in the UK’s gig economy, including for companies like Uber, Bolt and Deliveroo, about how rising fuel prices are affecting them. How have your earnings been impacted? Are you considering another line of work?

We are also interested in hearing from people who receive mileage payments for travel. Have allowances stayed the same, or risen to account for soaring costs?
