US diesel prices soar past $6 a gallon, deepening strain for hauling everyday goods

In the U.S., diesel prices have soared to unprecedented levels, surpassing six dollars a gallon. This spike is primarily caused by tensions between Washington and Iran, which have disrupted global fuel supplies. As a result, transportation costs for essential goods are on the rise, impacting consumers with higher fees on online purchases. Additionally, the conflict has driven crude oil prices over one hundred dollars a barrel.
