The national average price for diesel fuel on Wednesday reached an all-time record high, impacting 3.5 million American truckers throughout the nation.
Rising 84 cents in one week, Wednesday’s national average hit $4.883, up 13 cents overnight, according to AAA.

A while back, I was reading about dual-fuel trucks, which could run on either diesel or liquified natural gas.
LNG is cheaper than diesel, but the infrastructure to fuel trucks with it isn’t there.
There was discussion during the Trump years, but not much lately.
They would be handy about now.

There nothing we can do about it said the class clown
It will only effect the people who pay the truckers 🤪
I see a lot of UPS delivery trucks that run on CNG.
Those guys understand their costs down to the tenth of a cent per mile so they would be a good test case.
The Sunoco station in Saylorsburg, PA had Diesel this morning for $6.19 a gallon.
Grocery prices have already jumped. And now the prices might jump even higher? (Way to go, Brandon!)
And Dems wonder why food prices are so high. If you bought it, truckers brought it.
Compressed natural gas is good for short-haul trucks that can refuel frequently, LNG is better for long haul trucks.
The Democrats have no clue how to be a government , it’s just Me Me Me
Gasoline used to be a cost that you could ignore, for the most part.
Get ready for the big suck.
Basic economics doesn’t apply either.
$6.77 in CA.
Not just food.
Every dang thing comes in by trucks.
Pray for Trump.
Our fuel surcharge chart doesn’t go high enough for todays fuel prices. But it will. Businesses don’t pay these prices, the consumer does. We’re at the bottom rung of the ladder with bulk agricultural products. Sorry, folks. I didn’t vote for Biden either.
The Truckers Convoy is going around Washington day after day expending God knows how much money on expensive gas and the media doesn’t cover it and Biden doesn’t notice or if he does, he laughs. I feel sorry for these guys because I don’t see anybody notice, and they are wasting incredible amounts of money. There has to be another way.
Hard to believe but they’re going to have to add another window in the price display! $10.00 I remember when it went to above a dollar. The pumps had to be changed out to accommodate the 1. Oh well.
I remember at the time of the 2008 price spike a lot of the pumps would only allow 75 bucks worth on a credit card.
