A spokesperson said “the problem is … it’s Iranian Diesel and it’s in high demand in the UK, everybody loves it, in fact, they can’t get enough of it.
But the good news is, that we only have 3,500 billion litres stockpiled and (after August 2012) we won’t be able to get anymore. We’ll have to revert to Scottish or Libyian Diesel – but as they say – every silver camel has a lining – the price will only be 3p per litre before duty and VAT is added".
