Diesel prices in the U.S. exceed $6 per gallon as war disrupts fuel supply

In the U.S., diesel prices have surged to an average of $6.05 per gallon, a significant increase from $5.85 last week and $3.70 a year ago. This rise is attributed to the ongoing conflict involving the U.S. and Israel against Iran, disrupting global fuel supply. The increase in diesel prices is expected to raise transportation costs for everyday goods, particularly groceries, as fuel costs account for a significant portion of food prices.
