Diesel Prices Hit Record High as Global Tensions Escalate
The UK has seen a record high in diesel prices, exceeding 199.09p per litre, according to RAC Fuel Watch data.
This milestone comes amidst a complex mix of factors contributing to the surge in fuel costs.
Global oil prices have been volatile, with wholesale oil currently above $106 a barrel, up from $72 before the US-Iran war.
Russia's ban on diesel exports and its subsequent need to import supplies has also played a significant role in driving up prices.
