US Diesel Prices Soar to New Record Amid Global Energy Strains
The average price of diesel in the U.S. has reached a new record of $6.05 per gallon, according to AAA.
This marks a 63 percent increase from last year's price of $3.71 and a 14 percent jump from prices just last month.
The rising cost of diesel is expected to impact everyday goods as the fuel is commonly used by commercial delivery trucks for shipping.
The global energy supply is under strain due to the ongoing conflict with Iran and Ukrainian attacks on Russian oil refineries, causing a significant increase in demand for oil.
