UK diesel tops £2/liter for first time; RAC warns of broad consumer impact

UK diesel prices have breached the £2 per liter threshold for the first time, according to the RAC, which warns of financial pain for drivers and all consumers. The record price reflects sustained upward pressure on refined fuel costs, likely tied to global crude and refining margins. This marks a new milestone in the UK's fuel price cycle and signals potential inflationary pressure on goods and services.
