UK Diesel Warning: Emergency Stocks Cover 42 Days of Imports as Fuel Prices Rise

Diesel prices are climbing across Britain, with some forecourts charging more than £2 a litre. The UK also imports around 55% of its road diesel, leaving drivers and businesses exposed when overseas supplies tighten. In this video, we look at rising pump prices, pressure on global diesel supplies and what a prolonged disruption could mean for deliveries and household bills. Sky News economics editor Ed Conway compares Britain’s emergency stocks with 42 days of imports. That is a buffer against disrupted deliveries, not a countdown to empty pumps. Watch the ITV and Sky News reports, then tell us what diesel costs where you live.
