Diesel Stuck At 197p A Litre Even As Oil Prices Fall

Diesel Stuck At 197p A Litre Even As Oil Prices Fall

Diesel is still averaging 197p a litre at UK pumps, barely below October's record £2, even though oil prices have tumbled, the AA says. Petrol has now dropped 6p to 168p and could fall another 10p as wholesale costs slide. The motoring group called diesel's stubborn price dismal and said forecourts still charging near peak levels were behaving unforgivably, with London and the south-east worst.
