US diesel prices hit record $5.85 a gallon amid Iran war
–
Neutral summary
The average price of diesel in the US hit an all-time high of $5.85 a gallon on Friday, surpassing the previous record set in June 2022, according to AAA. The surge is driven by the Iran war and Ukrainian strikes on Russian refineries, which prompted Moscow to ban diesel exports. Prices have risen about 55% since late February, with a 17-cent jump in the last two days. The increase adds to inflationary pressures ahead of the November midterm elections and could raise costs for goods shipped by truck, posing a political challenge for President Trump.
