Diesel prices have exceeded £2 a litre at hundreds of forecourts across Scotland, according to the BBC, which cited motoring organisation the RAC. The RAC said it expects the average UK diesel price to hit a new record high over the weekend.
The report did not specify the exact number of Scottish forecourts affected or how the £2 threshold compares with prices in other parts of the United Kingdom.
Drivers face rising costs
The BBC's report did not detail the specific factors the RAC cited for the price increase, such as changes in wholesale oil costs, fuel duty, or exchange rates, nor did it indicate how long prices have been trending upward.
It also did not include comment from fuel retailers or the UK government on the rising costs, or specify what support, if any, is available to drivers and haulage operators affected by the increase.
Diesel prices have fluctuated significantly in recent years amid volatility in global energy markets, with previous spikes prompting government and industry debate over fuel taxation and support measures.
Further details on the projected record high and its expected duration were not included in the available report.
