US diesel prices hit a record high of $5.85 on average
The average price of diesel fuel in the US has surged to a record $5.85 per gallon, according to AAA. This spike is driven by rising crude oil costs and refinery disruptions, straining supply chains and increasing costs for trucking and agriculture. The national average for gasoline also remains elevated, adding pressure on consumers and businesses ahead of the winter heating season.
Diesel prices are hitting record highs, and that's going to have a ripple effect across the entire economy.

Diesel should cost a lot more, almost all of the road damage is by heavy trucks. Trucking is being subsidized by all of us.

It's interesting that diesel is taxed more than gas in the US. It's the other way around in France.
