Diesel has become more expensive than petrol in the UK for the first time.
Diesel has become more expensive than petrol in the UK for the first time, with a litre of diesel costing an average of £1.29 and a litre of unleaded costing £1.26. Why is diesel more expensive?
Petrol and diesel prices have been on a steady decline since 2014, when they reached their highest point at £1.50 per litre and £1.31 per litre respectively, according to figures from RAC Fuel Watch.
However, since then prices have fallen by around 40% to their current levels, although they are still significantly higher than they were just five years ago.
