US national average diesel price tops $6 a gallon for first time ever​

Average US diesel prices have surpassed $6 a gallon (3.8 litres) for the first time on record, according to data released on Thursday by price tracker GasBuddy, cited by Reuters.

The milestone follows oil supply disruptions driven by the war on Iran and Ukrainian attacks on Russian refineries, topping the previous record of $5.85 a gallon set the previous week.

You don't pay US prices so why do you care? I thought you were all electric as well?
What are the diesel prices in Canada like?

I bought diesel at $2.33 a liter two days ago. Seen $2.48 a liter this morning. The Strait of Bab el Mandeb controls the flow of about 10% of oil and with that closing things will get worse.

Trump blames fuel price spike on Zelensky
​

US President Donald Trump has blamed Ukrainian leader Vladimir Zelensky for the ongoing diesel price shock, saying it was a result of Kiev’s attacks on Russian refineries.

Market experts have mainly linked the hike to the conflict in the Middle East and the reignited hostilities between the US and Iran, which have prompted a renewed rise in crude oil prices.

Trump, however, insisted that this was not the case, telling reporters while on a visit to Ireland that the diesel price spike was actually related to the Russia-Ukraine conflict. The US president said he had already raised the issue with the Ukrainian leader and told him to stop attacking diesel production in Russia.

“Zelensky has to do one thing. He has to stop knocking out diesel fuel in Russia. Let him go after targets, but not diesel fuel, because he’s causing a shortage of diesel,” Trump asserted, adding that “this isn’t done by the Middle East.”
