Diesel hit a record high $4.76/gallon on Tuesday. Imagine paying double that.
British truckers are protesting soaring fuel prices. They're driving in a convoy to Marble Arch in the center of London before delivering a petition to Prime Minister Gordon Brown.
Truckers want the government to compensate truck drivers for the soaring cost of gas. Record-high oil prices have helped drive the cost of diesel in Britain to more than $9/gallon. The truckers say thousands of jobs in their industry are threatened by the rising costs. Many drivers also object to government plans to impose an environmental tax on some gas-guzzling cars.
