Snip:
Average diesel prices have hit a record high in the United States, amid the US acts of aggression against Iran and the closure of the Strait of Hormuz, through which around a fifth of the world’s traded oil flows.
On Friday, average diesel prices soared to $5.85 a gallon for the first time since the start of the US-Israeli aggression against Iran on February 28.
Higher diesel prices, which are widely used in trucking, agriculture and industrial activity, mean higher transportation and production costs that subsequently raise food prices, bringing ripple effects for the economy and wider costs of living.
Some businesses have already passed on costs to consumers through added fees on online orders and mailed packages.
gas has slowly been ticking upwards here, its approx 3.75-ish.
diesel however is sky fucking high. 5.75-ish. Went today and filled the shop truck at work I use when I pull a tractor with diesel, the tractor, and two more 5 gallon jerry cans w diesel.
Shop truck holds 24 gallons of diesel. Tractor holds twelve. Ten in jerry cans. 264.50 for 46 gallons of diesel fuel.
