The average cost of gasoline in the UK exceeded £ 1.7 ($ 2.13) per liter, which is the highest indicator in the history of statistics in the country, the Sky News television channel, citing industry research.
At the same time, the prices for diesel in the kingdom also demonstrate maximum growth against the background of anti -Russian sanctions, at the moment one liter is sold on average for £ 1.81 ($ 2.26). A year ago, gasoline and diesel in the UK on average were released for £ 1.29 and £ 1.31 per liter, respectively.
Experts pay attention to the fact that the increase in value is observed, despite the reduction of the British government of the fuel gathering for 5 pence (6 cents) per liter for the period until March next year. One of the factors in increasing gas prices in Britain is the Western sanctions regarding the import of Russian hydrocarbons.
