US Diesel Tops $6/Gallon First Time on War, Refinery Attacks

US average diesel prices have surpassed $6 per gallon for the first time, a confirmed record high. This surge is attributed to tight refining capacity, elevated crude costs, and supply disruptions stemming from the US-Iran conflict and Ukrainian attacks on Russian refineries. The EIA warns that tight supply conditions are likely to persist, indicating sustained inflationary pressure.
