Diesel prices in the UK have breached two pounds per liter for the first time, according to the RAC motoring group.
The RAC warned that the record-breaking prices will bring financial pain not only for drivers at the pump but for consumers more broadly, since diesel costs feed into the price of transporting goods across the economy.
Rising fuel costs typically add pressure to household budgets both directly, through higher costs for anyone driving a diesel vehicle, and indirectly, as businesses that rely on diesel-powered freight and logistics pass higher costs on to consumers through the prices of goods and services.
