The national average price of on-highway diesel has soared by 9.9 cents, hitting $3.905 per gallon, marking the most substantial one-week increase since March 2022.

This significant leap comes after a week of no price fluctuation, as reported by the Energy Information Administration (EIA). All ten regions surveyed by the EIA noted a rise in diesel prices. On a related note, the national average gasoline price also climbed, increasing by 3.7 cents to reach $3.596 per gallon. This fluctuation in fuel costs impacts various sectors, from logistics and transportation to consumer goods pricing.

 Perspective on this week's increase in the DOE/EIA benchmark #diesel price: since Ukraine invasion, it's only the 9th highest. But for the 10 years prior, it would be the third highest, behind two times during hurricanes. This was a big, big move. pic.twitter.com/tf54dnSe9C— John Kingston (@JohnHKingston) July 24, 2023
