Diesel prices in the UK have reached a record high of £2 per litre, according to a report by The Guardian. The surge is linked to the war involving Iran and its impact on global oil markets, with costs being passed on to motorists at the pump.
Why now: The record pump price, tied to the Iran conflict's effect on oil markets, directly affects UK drivers' costs.
