Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer has already warned the public that it will be 'painful'
Diesel car owners have been alerted to a potential increase in their yearly fuel bills by over £200 as the October Budget looms.
Fuel duty is a tax paid by motorists on petrol, diesel and other types of combustible liquids used to power vehicles and heat homes. Since 2011, the current rate of fuel duty has remained frozen, further aided by a cut of 5p per litre following the Russian invasion of Ukraine in early 2022. According to the RAC, the average price for one litre of diesel in the UK during early September 2024 was 144.64p per litre. However, if the increase in fuel duty goes ahead and directly affects prices, drivers will be paying closer to £1.55 for each litre of diesel.
