U.S. Diesel Prices Hit Record $6.27 Per Gallon

Last updated 1 hour ago

The national average diesel price reached $6.2694 per gallon on September 15, 2026, topping all previous records amid tight supplies from a Saudi pipeline attack, Middle East disruptions, Ukrainian strikes on Russian refineries, and crude over $100 a barrel. Russia banned diesel exports, while U.S. distillate stocks remain low, driving up costs for trucks, ships, farms, and freight that keep store shelves stocked. Analysts warn of rippling effects on essentials like groceries, with regular gas at $4.33 and states like Arizona at $6.23 for diesel; President Trump cited Ukrainian strikes as a factor.
