UK's largest oil refinery closes for 10 weeks; diesel prices rise
Britain's biggest refinery, Fawley in Hampshire, has shut down for planned maintenance until December, raising concerns about fuel supplies. The closure by ExxonMobil, a company supplying almost one fifth of the UK's road fuel, coincides with diesel's average price exceeding £2 per litre on Wednesday. Energy analysts warn the shutdown could trigger another crisis due to the UK's limited diesel stocks and reliance on imports.
