Why $6 Diesel Hits Your Wallet

U.S. diesel fuel averaged more than $6 a gallon, NPR reported September 11. That beats the $5.85 record from September 3, per AP. After accounting for inflation — how far a dollar goes — it's below 2008's $4.74 high, worth $7.20 today, per NPR. I expect costlier truck deliveries to keep store prices higher.
