UK Diesel Price Exceeds £2 Per Litre Amid Supply Crisis

The average price of diesel in the UK has reached 200.01p per litre for the first time, while petrol prices increased to an average of 174.71p per litre. The US has urged European nations to release more diesel stocks to mitigate global prices, with President Trump considering a ban on US diesel exports to support the domestic market. The UK government has indicated there is no immediate concern about diesel shortages, though prices are expected to continue rising. For ordinary consumers, the cost of filling a family car with diesel has surged by nearly £32 since the start of the US-Iran conflict, now totaling £110.
