We are seeing $5.69+ a gallon for Diesel at most pumps.

It has even caused a new oddity.
We have been seeing more Semi-rigs dropping their trailers in parking lots and lining up at SAM's Club pumps to get refueled at $4.59 a gallon.
Or purchasing tax-exempt Farm Diesel which is about $0.50 to $0.75 cents cheaper a gallon and illegal to use.

Given many long-haul semi-Rigs have fuel tanks holding as much as 300 gallons, that's a BIG savings.

SIMPLE LOGIC
Higher Diesel prices mean higher delivery costs, higher food and anything else costs.

The Liberals, Socialists and Democrats Own this problem when they went Anti-Oil day . "WE DID THAT" memec
