Diesel price surge: how are Shetland and Outer Hebrides residents coping?
Diesel price surge: how are island residents coping?

The Guardian is seeking to hear from people living in Shetland and the Outer Hebrides about how they are coping with the surge in diesel prices, which are the highest average per litre in the UK.

Global supply disruptions push up prices

Russia’s war-damaged refineries and the Middle East crisis have erased about a fifth of the world’s diesel supplies, pushing up the price of diesel at forecourt pumps.

Residents are asked whether they are taking fewer car journeys or cutting back in other areas to pay their diesel bills.
