🇺🇸 The price of diesel fuel in the United States has for the first time exceeded $6 per gallon. This is a new all-time record. A year ago, a gallon cost about $3.7.

🔵Experts attribute the increase to a reduction in the global supply of petroleum products amid conflicts surrounding Ukraine and Iran, as well as instability in shipping through the Strait of Hormuz.

🔵Gasoline has also become more expensive—reaching $4.32 per gallon, but it is still below the 2022 record of $5.

🔵The rise in diesel prices is particularly important for the U.S. economy. Around 76% of commercial vehicles run on diesel fuel, so its rising cost is also reflected in the price of freight transportation and goods.
