And not even a kiss

The cost of diesel has soared to a record high and wiped out fuel efficiency savings, motoring leaders warned yesterday.
Once the cheaper alternative to petrol, it is now far more expensive.
Figures show diesel is selling at an average 5.20 (US$10.31) a gallon (114.25p [US$2.26] per litre), compared with unleaded at 4.85 [US$9.61] a gallon (106.76p [US$2.12] per litre).
While a boom in diesel cars has exacerbated demand for the fuel, refineries have failed to keep pace with producing it.
