Diesel prices have risen above £2 a litre at filling stations in the Harrogate area.

Riffa Service Station on Harrogate Road near Huby is charging 200.9p per litre today (Friday 25th September).

The local average has reached around 196.8p per litre, putting the cost of filling an empty 55-litre tank at £108.24.

At Riffa’s price, the same amount of diesel would cost £110.50.

The rise follows increases in fuel prices during September, with diesel particularly affected.

Prices also passed the £2-a-litre mark during the fuel price crisis in summer 2022.

In June that year, the former Texaco garage on Skipton Road became the first forecourt in Harrogate reported to be charging more than £2 a litre for diesel.

Prices fell significantly in the years that followed.
