US Diesel Fuel Prices Reach New Record High, AAA Reports
The American Automobile Association says the national average price for diesel has climbed to an unprecedented level, according to a report cited by Mehr News.
The average price of diesel fuel in the United States has reached a new record high of $6.49 per gallon, according to a report by the American Automobile Association (AAA) cited by Iran's Mehr News agency.
The report, published by Mehr News on September 20, did not provide additional details on the factors behind the price increase or a timeframe for how the figure was reached.
AAA is a widely cited source for fuel price tracking in the United States, regularly publishing data on national and regional averages for gasoline and diesel prices.
Diesel fuel prices affect a broad range of sectors, including trucking, shipping and agriculture, given the fuel's use in commercial transportation and heavy machinery.
Mehr News did not attribute the price increase to any specific cause in its report, and further details from AAA's original data were not immediately available.
