According to data from the American Automobile Association (AAA), the average retail price of diesel in the United States reached an all-time high of $5.85 per gallon on Friday, surpassing the previous record set in 2022. Simultaneously, the average retail price of gasoline in the U.S. also rose to $4.15 per gallon, marking the highest level for the same period in history. The surge in diesel prices is transmitting the impact of rising energy costs to inflation, agriculture, and logistics, and is creating new political pressure for the Donald Trump administration.
