BusinessUK Diesel Prices Hit Record High Amid West Asia Conflict
Diesel prices in the UK reached a record 199.18 pence per litre, surpassing the 2022 high of 199.09p, driven by tightening global diesel supplies linked to the West Asia conflict. Diesel prices rose 15p in September, outpacing petrol's 11p increase. The UK relies heavily on diesel imports due to limited domestic refining, with global oil prices above $106 per barrel, fueling inflation since March.
