The month-on-month rise in the cost of diesel is the biggest since 2000
The RAC has warned drivers the cost of diesel in the UK has soared - and petrol is 'overpriced' by around 7 pence per litre. Latest figures show the price of diesel has increased by 8p, to 163p in September, while petrol prices have risen by 4.5p to 152p.
The RAC fuel spokesperson, Simon Williams, said: “In the last two weeks the wholesale cost of diesel has become 10p a litre more expensive than petrol, yet the gap at the pumps is only 5p. If retailers as a whole were playing fair with drivers, petrol would be at least 7p cheaper than it is now, down to about 150p from its current average of 157p.”
