Fuel Fears: Do We Have to Pay £3 a Litre of Diesel?
Hey folks, yes—we’re looking at a possible price spike that could hurl diesel prices straight up to £3 a litre.
What’s Triggering the Surge?
It’s not just a simple oil shock or a Russia‑Ukraine bout. Dr. Amrita Sen is warning us that this could be a multi‑year cost‑of‑living nightmare. Even if peace is brokered, the high price tag might stick around for a while.
Key Takeaway from Dr. Sen
- It’s not a temporary hiccup—it’s an ongoing crisis.
- We’re expected to see this for the next few years.
- Even a peace deal might only dent the numbers, but doesn’t erase them.
Why the Concern?
About 18% of the diesel used in the UK is sourced from Russia, and an additional 8% of oil comes from the same region. If the supply chain gets hit, the price tag could hit hard.
So, buckle up folks—let’s keep our wallets ready and maybe double‑check that diesel dispenser is worthwhile before you try to convince your car to run on pure optimism!
