Price of diesel in UK hits all-time high, new figures show
RAC figures show the average diesel bill has topped the previous 2022 record as officials weigh emergency fuel measures and possible rationing.
- On Monday, the average price of a litre of diesel in the UK reached 199.18p, a record high, with motorists in Oxford experiencing significant price spikes amid global supply disruptions.
- Ongoing conflict between the US and Iran has disrupted global petroleum supplies, while war between Russia and Ukraine has driven up wholesale fuel costs, reducing diesel exports sharply.
- RAC head of policy Simon Williams warned that filling an average family car now costs almost £110, an increase of £31 since the US-Iran conflict began on February 28.
- Russian diesel exports have dropped sharply following Ukrainian drone attacks on oil refineries, with a key facility near Moscow damaged earlier this month in a massive operation.
- Williams stated, "Only a sustained lower oil price – over several weeks, not days – will lead to cheaper prices at the pumps," signaling prolonged market pressure ahead.
