Brits BRACED as petrol prices SOAR and diesel could hit £3 per litre ahead of major rule change
Fuel prices could hit an all-time high this weekend as Donald Trump threatens to ban the export of diesel in the US.
Petrol prices have reached £1.73 a litre in the UK this week. Diesel costs £1.98, and could go as high as £2.30 this weekend should Trump go ahead with the ban. Some are warning diesel could eventually top £3 a litre.
On the Continent, people are facing even higher prices. Those in France and the Netherlands are crossing their borders into Belgium to fill up. In southern France, where diesel costs more than £2.05, residents are filling up in Spain. Petrol in the Netherlands has passed £2.10 and in Demark it has hit £2.25. The UK has the eighth highest prices in Europe, behind Germany, France, Italy and Portugal.
