167.1p a litre — that's where diesel closed the week, down 5.3p, with petrol off 2.2p to 151.0p, according to DESNZ. A drop that size in a single week is the kind of move that makes last quarter's Advisory Fuel Rate look stale fast. Any fleet still reimbursing diesel drivers at the old rate is now overpaying per mile — worth a quick recheck before it becomes a habit rather than a blip.
