WASHINGTON, SEPTEMBER 15 /SRNA/ – The average price of diesel fuel in the United States has reached a record $6.27 per gallon /approximately 3.8 liters/, announced the American Automobile Association.

Diesel prices in the USA exceeded $6 per gallon for the first time last week. The previous record of $5.80 was recorded in July 2022.

At the beginning of 2025, a gallon of diesel in the USA cost an average of less than $3.50, while the price has increased by 170 percent since then.
