Diesel prices skyrocket to more than $5 per gallon in some states

Published:

The soaring price of crude oil triggered in part by the Russian invasion of Ukraine is causing truckers major pain at the fuel pump.

As the United States and other global partners consider banning the import of Russian oil in response to the conflict in Ukraine, the global oil market has tightened, sending the cost of a barrel of oil over $120 as of Monday morning.

According to AAA, the average cost of a gallon of diesel is currently more than $5.00 in two states — California and Pennsylvania. AAA lists the average cost of diesel in California at $5.692.

The group says that average diesel prices have increased nationwide from $4.006 per gallon last week to $4.614 as of Monday.

Diesel fuel prices have spiked to more than $6 per gallon at several California locations, according to the Pilot Flying J website.
