U.S. retail diesel averaged $5.783/gal on Wednesday, the highest since mid-2022
and above the peak seen during the early Iran conflict in mid‑April, sitting
just below the June 2022 record set amid the Russia‑Ukraine energy shock, AAA
data show. GasBuddy oil analyst Patrick DeHahn said at the current pace diesel
could set a new record by next Monday ahead of the U.S. Labor Day holiday.
