UK diesel price hits £2 a litre as US calls for Europe to release more fuel stocks
The RAC says diesel prices show no sign of slowing, adding further pressure on drivers across the UK.

The price of diesel in the UK has reached £2 a litre, according to the motoring organisation the RAC, which said the increase shows no signs of slowing down.
The RAC described the rising cost as "heaping more misery" onto drivers already contending with elevated fuel expenses.
The price increase comes as the United States has called on European countries to release more fuel stocks, a request aimed at easing pressure on energy markets.
It remains unclear how quickly, if at all, any release of additional stocks might affect pump prices for UK drivers in the near term.
Motoring groups continue to monitor the situation closely, as fuel costs remain a significant concern for households and businesses reliant on diesel-powered transport.
