> The US national average diesel price has climbed to a record $5.85 per gallon amid the war with Iran, surpassing the previous peak from June 2022. Gasoline also reached $4.14 per gallon, a record for this time of year. Volatility around the Strait of Hormuz has pushed crude prices higher, raising transportation and production costs ahead of November’s midterm elections.
