And people wonder why the price of diesel is going up so fast

Before the Iran War, while Ukraine was attacking Russian refineries, the average price of regular diesel was $3.76 It has now surged past $6.00

So no, the current high price of gasoline and diesel is NOT because of Ukraine, its because the Strait of Hormuz is effectively closed.

Before the conflict in late February, the national average price for a gallon of diesel in the U.S. was about $3.76, according to AAA
