Diesel Passes $6 a Gallon

US diesel averaged over $6 a gallon, NPR reported September 11. That tops the $5.85 record from September 3, per AP. Adjusted for inflation — meaning in today's dollars — it's still below 2008's $4.74 peak, equal to $7.20 now, per NPR. I expect higher trucking costs to keep pushing up prices for shoppers.
