UK Diesel Price Tops £2 a Litre for First Time, RAC Says

Diesel crossing £2 a litre matters less as a motorist story than as an input-cost story: the fuel feeds haulage, farming and industry, so the record lands first on operators who cannot easily pass costs through. The RAC framing keeps attention on pump averages, but the more telling signal is how long the level holds rather than the milestone itself. Whether this proves a spike or a new floor is the open question for anyone watching freight and food-chain margins.
