Explained in plain English

Will diesel hit £2 a litre?

The story mentions diesel is already near £2, at 196.9p. With Brent crude oil over $103 a barrel due to the Iran war, further increases are very likely. If global tensions persist, it's highly probable that average pump prices for diesel will soon exceed the £2 mark across the UK.
