"The national average price of diesel has climbed to $6.00 per gallon for the first time in history, according to GasBuddy, whose live, real-time data reflects key thresholds like this one first. It is a level diesel has never reached, and it comes less than a week after prices set a fresh all-time record of $5.85," the service said in a statement.

The price of diesel fuel directly affects the cost of goods, as it powers the agricultural machinery and heavy-duty vehicles used in supply chains.On February, the US launched a war that disrupted shipping through the Strait of Hormuz — which carried roughly one-fifth of global oil supply before the conflict.US diesel inventories stand 13% below their five-year average at 106.3 million barrels.
