Why Diesel Costs More Than Petrol
Diesel has been more expensive than petrol in the UK since 2021. Several factors contribute to this:
- Refining costs — Diesel requires more refining than petrol
- Global demand — Diesel is in higher demand for commercial transport worldwide
- Lower UK production — UK refineries produce less diesel relative to demand
- Import dependency — The UK imports more diesel, adding to costs
Is Diesel Still Worth It?
Despite higher prices at the pump, diesel may still be economical if you:
- Drive over 15,000 miles per year
- Mostly drive on motorways and dual carriageways
- Tow frequently and need the extra torque
- Plan to keep your car for 5+ years
For shorter journeys and lower mileage, petrol or hybrid vehicles are often more cost-effective.
