Explained in plain English

Why are my groceries dearer?

Even if you don't drive a diesel car, higher diesel prices impact you. Lorries run on diesel, so it costs more to transport food and goods to shops. These extra costs are often passed on to consumers, meaning you pay more for your weekly shop and other items.
