Efforts to move away from importing Russian diesel have led to a tightening of supply and pushed up the price retailers pay for diesel.

Why do petrol and diesel prices keep climbing when oil has fallen? (The Guardian)

Even as oil prices fall from highs in March, the cost of filling up a diesel vehicle has rocketed.

Refining margins are calculated using “crack spreads” – the overall price difference between a barrel of crude oil and the petroleum products refined from it. The RAC has accused retailers of taking 2p more in profit a litre than before the chancellor announced a 5p cut in fuel duty in March’s spring statement. After the oil is refined, it is then used in products like diesel and petrol. The fall in the oil price due to Covid hurt an industry that has struggled to attract investment into facilities amid increased environmental regulation and worries over peak oil demand. The US Energy Information Administration estimates that stocks of US distillates – typically diesel and petrol – fell 8% in March to 24% below the five-year average. But, against this backdrop, oil prices have actually fallen from their peaks in March in the early weeks of the war.
