The average price of a litre of diesel in the UK has hit an all-time high of 199.18p, passing the previous record set in 2022, according to RAC figures.
New record high
This new figure surpasses the previous record, which was set in 2022. The data comes from the RAC, which monitors fuel prices across the country.
The increase represents another financial blow for drivers, who have already faced rising costs at the pump in recent months.
Impact on drivers
The record price means motorists filling up a typical diesel car will now pay more than ever before for a full tank. The RAC figures confirm the scale of the increase, which has pushed diesel costs beyond the 2022 peak.
This breaking story is still developing, and more details are expected to follow.
