WASHINGTON (Sputnik) — The average price of diesel fuel in the US has hit a new all-time high for the second day in a row, reaching $6.31 per gallon (approximately 3.8 liters), according to data from the American Automobile Association (AAA) studied by Sputnik on Wednesday. On Tuesday, the average cost of diesel fuel reached a record $6.27 per gallon. The previous record high of $5.80 was set in July 2022. In early 2025, a gallon of diesel in the US cost less than $3.50 on average. In California, where fuel prices are generally higher than the national average, the price of diesel has exceeded $8.26, with some gas stations charging over $9.00. Diesel prices directly impact the cost of goods, as the fuel powers agricultural machinery and heavy-duty trucks used in supply chains.
