U.S. diesel prices surpass $6 per gallon
U.S. diesel prices have exceeded $6 per gallon, with one Cleveland-area station reporting $6.50 and the development described as a record high. The spike is substantially more severe than the earlier gasoline-focused inflation risk.
Record diesel costs can raise freight, agricultural and heating expenses, intensifying inflation across the U.S. economy.
