UK diesel prices hit record £2 a litre for first time
The average price of diesel in the UK has reached £2 per litre for the first time, according to motoring organisations.
UK diesel prices have reached a record high of £2 per litre this week, with the RAC reporting the average has climbed to this level for the first time. In Northern Ireland, the average price hit 193.3p per litre according to the NI Consumer Council. The Guardian reports that prices have risen sharply since late February, when the US-Israel war on Iran began disrupting supplies of crude and refined oil products from the Gulf, leading to cost increases across the economy. The RAC says price rises show no signs of slowing, heaping pressure on both motorists and small businesses. The Government insists diesel supplies remain robust.
