US Diesel Price Hits Record High Amid Ongoing Conflict
The US diesel price has hit a new record high of $5.85 per gallon, up from $3.71 just a year ago, due to disruptions caused by the ongoing war with Iran.
This surge in diesel prices is affecting voters ahead of the November midterm elections, as inflation continues to rise.
North Carolina-based farmer Derrick Austin estimates that higher diesel costs could add around $15,000 to his fall harvest of soybeans and corn.
