US diesel tops $6 a gallon for first time ever

2026-09-10 21:09 UTC – 2026-09-11 20:25 UTC

Neutral summary

The average US diesel price surpassed $6 a gallon for the first time on record, hitting $6.05–6.07, with California near $8, according to GasBuddy and AAA. The surge follows reduced oil supply from the escalating war with Iran, Ukrainian drone attacks on Russian refineries, and strikes on key Middle East shipping routes. Six months ago diesel averaged about $3.76 a gallon, and a year ago $3.70. Analysts expect the national average to reach at least $6.60 this year, adding strain for truckers, farmers and consumers.
