英国柴油均价首次突破每升2英镑大关UK Average Diesel Price Hits £2 per Litre for First Time

英国汽车服务机构RAC的数据表明，国内加油站柴油均价升至每升200.01便士，汽油平均价格也同步上行至每升174.71便士。RAC指出油价上涨暂未出现减缓迹象，英国车主的燃油开销随之攀升。目前为一辆普通家用柴油车加满油箱的费用为110英镑，比美伊战事发生前增加了将近32英镑；与此同时，加满一辆标准汽油车的成本已上升至96.09英镑，自2026年2月以来上涨了23.03英镑。

According to data from motoring organisation RAC, the average pump price of diesel across the United Kingdom has reached 200.01p per litre, while unleaded petrol prices have climbed to an average of 174.71p per litre. The motoring group reported that fuel price increases show no signs of slowing down, adding direct expenses to road users. Refuelling a typical family diesel car now costs £110, marking an increase of nearly £32 since the outbreak of the US-Iran conflict. The cost of filling a standard petrol-powered family car has risen to £96.09, which is up by £23.03 since February.

RAC发言人西蒙·威廉姆斯表示，燃油价格处于高位给长距离行驶的家庭和企业带来了沉重负担。受到直接冲击的对象涵盖日常通勤者、货运及快递物流公司、拥有大型车队的企业以及自雇经营者。柴油支出在日常运营和出行成本中占据较大比重，持续上涨的油价使依赖公路运输的商业机构和高频用车群体的财务压力持续增加。

RAC representative Simon Williams explained that the current price levels create serious challenges for households and commercial operators that log high mileage. The financial impact extends across daily commuters, haulage and delivery firms, companies managing large vehicle fleets, and sole traders. Because fuel represents a major component of daily operating and travel expenses, ongoing increases at the pump place heavy ongoing financial demands on road transport services and frequent drivers.

全球燃油批发价格走高的核心因素，在于关键产油与炼油区域接连发生供应链中断。在过去七个月里，涉及伊朗的军事冲突对中东地区的批发原油及精炼石油产品生产造成了阻碍，原油和燃料从该区域向外运输的通道同样受到波及，导致国际基准能源价格出现明显上行。

The sustained escalation in wholesale fuel costs stems primarily from significant disruptions across critical production and transport channels in key energy-producing regions. Over the past seven months, the war involving Iran has created substantial logistical and operational obstacles for both wholesale crude extraction and the manufacture of refined petroleum products across the Middle East, impeding the outward shipment of fuels to international buyers and driving up baseline prices.

除中东局势之外，乌克兰对俄罗斯炼油厂实施的袭击行动削减了国际市场的柴油供给能力。由于柴油提炼难度高于汽油，炼油基础设施受损加剧了全球范围内的精炼成品供给短缺，多重地缘冲突对不同产油重镇的连续冲击，共同推高了国际批发市场的燃油采购成本。

Global diesel availability has experienced additional constraints due to Ukrainian military strikes targeting oil refineries inside Russia. Because refining diesel involves a more demanding industrial process than petrol production, physical damage to these refining facilities has placed further pressure on global product volumes, amplifying supply tightness across international energy markets.

美国政府正向欧洲国家施加压力，要求其增加柴油库存的释放量，以协助平抑国际柴油价格。美国财政部长斯科特·贝森特敦促欧洲国家立即释放柴油储备，并提出在燃油价格飙升的情况下，不应由美国农民、卡车司机和企业独自承担这笔成本负担。美国总统唐纳德·特朗普对此项提议表达了支持。

The United States has applied mounting pressure on European governments to release greater quantities of their diesel reserves to help lower prices worldwide. US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent urged European nations to release diesel supplies immediately, arguing that American farmers, truckers, and commercial businesses should not be left carrying the financial burden as fuel costs climb. US President Donald Trump endorsed Bessent's call while reviewing measures to manage domestic fuel resources.

在要求欧洲采取行动的同时，特朗普表示正在考虑对美国柴油出口实施禁令。禁止出口将使更多柴油留在美国本土流通，有望在11月美国中期选举之前缓解美国车主的燃油支出压力。国际分析指出，限制美国燃油外流预计会收紧全球流通规模，推高英国和欧盟等高度依赖海外柴油采购地区的市场售价。

President Trump also stated that he is considering an outright ban on US diesel exports. Restricting exports would keep higher volumes of diesel within the domestic market, potentially softening pump costs for American motorists ahead of the congressional midterm elections in November. Energy market assessments indicate that halting US shipments abroad would likely reduce international fuel availability, putting upward price pressure on overseas economies such as the United Kingdom and the European Union that rely on imported diesel.

英国本土炼油厂的产出结构与国内消费需求存在明显差异。尽管英国炼油设施生产的汽油总量超过了国内实际消耗量，但由于柴油提炼流程更为复杂，本土炼油厂产出的柴油只能满足不到一半的国内需求。这导致英国依赖海外进口来弥补略低于半数的柴油消费缺口。在英国的柴油进口来源中，通常约有31%来自美国，而比利时和荷兰两国合计供应了超过三分之一的进口份额。

The domestic refining capacity of the United Kingdom displays a notable structural imbalance between petrol and diesel output. While British refineries produce a greater volume of petrol than is consumed domestically, the more complex refining process required for diesel means domestic facilities cover less than half of national diesel consumption. Consequently, the country relies on foreign imports for just under half of its total diesel requirements. Among these international suppliers, approximately 31% typically originates from the United States, while Belgium and the Netherlands collectively provide more than one-third of the imported volume.

面对国际能源市场震荡与潜在的供应压力，英国政府官员表示正与美国及欧盟方面保持密切沟通合作。英国政府发言人说明，英国拥有多样且具备韧性的燃油供应体系，并正持续与国际合作伙伴及英国本土燃油产业进行对接。官方同时强调，公众无需对潜在的柴油短缺产生担忧，但成品油终端售价预计在短期内仍可能面临继续攀升的趋势。

Addressing current market volatility and international supply pressures, UK government ministers noted that they are collaborating with counterparts in both the United States and the European Union. A government spokesperson stated that the country maintains a diverse and resilient supply base while actively engaging with international partners and the domestic fuel industry. The government also emphasised that there is no cause for concern regarding potential physical fuel shortages, although pump prices are anticipated to face upward pressure.
