The U.S. average price for diesel reached $6.27 a gallon on Tuesday after increasing 42 cents in one week, according to The Hill. The increase was largely linked to energy-market disruption from the U.S. war in Iran.
Diesel is widely used by trucking, public transportation and agriculture. Analysts quoted by the publication said they did not expect prices to fall in the coming weeks.
