Diesel prices in the UK have reached a record high, according to the RAC, hitting £2 a litre for the first time as the war in the Middle East continues to drive up the cost of oil worldwide.
The price of a litre in the UK has risen 40.5 per cent since late February, when the US first launched strikes against Iran, while prices are also at a record high in the US, where much of the world’s supply is produced and refined.
