Hundreds of UK fuel forecourts are charging around £2 a litre or more, according to analysis of thousands of forecourt prices. The reporting says 236 sites are selling diesel for more than £2 a litre, while a further 633 are pricing diesel at 199.9p.
The coverage frames the figures in the context of near-record fuel prices and the potential impact on household costs and inflation. While the numbers point to how widespread the £2-plus pricing is, the reports focus on the risk that higher fuel prices could feed through into broader prices. Across the sources provided, the emphasis is on the scale of the pricing and its possible implications for inflation rather than on any specific cause for the increases.
All outlets cited here draw on similar price monitoring of forecourts and present the same snapshot of diesel pricing levels at the time of publication.
