The average price for a gallon of diesel was still hovering around a record-high of $6.43 as of Friday morning, according to the latest data published by GasBuddy.
The historic increase in the price of diesel comes amid continued disruption in the Strait of Hormuz — sparked by the U.S.-Israeli attack on Iran in February — and Russia’s ongoing invasion of Ukraine, which in recent years has seen an intensification of long-range Ukrainian attacks on Russian oil facilities.
