Price of diesel in UK hits all-time high, new figures show
- Diesel prices are nearing record highs, approaching the previous all-time high of 199.09p per litre set on 25 June 2022 following Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
- The US-Israel conflict with Iran over the past seven months has disrupted global fuel markets. The closure of the Strait of Hormuz, through which approximately 20% of global oil flows, has significantly constrained supplies.
- Brent Crude prices have climbed back above $100 per barrel amid market volatility. Analysts estimate that every $10 per barrel increase in oil prices results in roughly 7p added to pump prices per litre.
- President Trump has indicated consideration of a ban on American diesel sales overseas, posing risks for regions dependent on imports from American and Norway sources. A planned fuel duty increase remains postponed until the end of December.
- The RAC has called for maintaining fuel duty at current levels through the end of Parliament. Additional pressures may emerge if American officials implement proposed restrictions on diesel exports.
