What affects Red Diesel prices?

  1. Global oil markets
    The wholesale cost of diesel changes daily based on supply and demand.
  2. Delivery location
    Rural or remote areas may require different delivery routes or vehicle access.
  3. Quantity ordered
    Larger deliveries often reduce the price per litre.
  4. Seasonal demand
    Harvest, construction schedules and winter usage can influence availability and pricing.

Why prices vary by region

Red Diesel is distributed from terminals across the UK. The closer your property or site is to a depot, the more competitive the rate can be. If deliveries require smaller trucks or restricted access routes, prices may differ slightly.

Many farms, estates and construction sites also benefit from shared or group deliveries. This reduces travel time and can help lower the overall cost.
