The price of diesel on UK forecourts has reached an all-time high average of 199.18p a litre, as the ongoing conflict in the Middle East continues to drive up the cost of fuel for motorists.
The new record surpasses the previous peak of 199.09p reached in June 2022, which followed Russia's invasion of Ukraine, according to the report.
The current rise is attributed to fallout from the conflict in Iran, which has continued to push up the bill for UK motorists reliant on diesel vehicles.
The increase adds further pressure on households and businesses already contending with elevated transport and logistics costs. The source material does not detail projections for how long the price pressure may continue.
Fuel price trackers are expected to continue monitoring forecourt costs as the situation develops.
