UK Diesel Prices Top £2 a Litre for First Time
For the first time, average UK diesel prices have surpassed £2 per litre, driven by global supply constraints. Factors including the Iran war, attacks on Russian refineries, and Chinese export restrictions have significantly tightened the global fuel market. The rising costs are placing immense pressure on households, farmers, and logistics companies. While the G7 has pledged to release 100 million barrels of oil to stabilize prices, the economic impact on UK consumers remains severe.
