UK Diesel and Petrol Prices Drop Slightly After Weeks of Increases

Petrol and diesel prices in the UK have decreased slightly for the first time since the US-Israel war with Iran, as reported by the RAC. Diesel has reduced by 0.6p to just below 191p per litre, while petrol has fallen by 0.3p to just under 158p per litre. This reduction follows a period where diesel surged from 142p to nearly 192p and petrol rose from 133p to over 158p. Despite the recent declines, fuel prices remain below summer 2022 levels, when gasoline reached 191.5p per litre and diesel hit 199p.
