Diesel prices could hit £2 a litre as prices rise again, drivers warned
FairFuelUK says refining shortages and tight supplies could push diesel to 195p to 205p a litre, with more than 40 countries already using price controls or tax cuts.
- FairFuelUK founder Howard Cox warned diesel prices could surge towards £2 a litre as a global refining crunch threatens UK pump prices, with diesel already near 190p.
- Global diesel supplies face pressure from Russian refining capacity down around 30% due to strikes and Persian Gulf throughput disruptions near Hormuz, according to the IEA.
- Saul Turner, motoring expert at National Scrap Car, said rising forecourt theft reflects motorist pressure, with a 20% increase and nearly £200,000 worth of fuel stolen daily.
- The country holds only around 23 to 26 days of diesel reserve cover, leaving prices vulnerable to disruption while more than 40 countries have enacted fuel tax cuts.
- Turner recommends motorists fill up early in the week, preferably Monday or Tuesday, and use supermarket forecourts where fuel is typically cheaper than the UK average.
