The price of gasoline in the United States has recently climbed to a new historic high, with gas station prices reaching a new peak of $5.47 per gallon. The latest released data show that the difference between diesel and crude oil prices in the US has also surpassed $102.20 for the first time, setting an all-time record. The upward trend in diesel prices began after the outbreak of related conflicts involving Iran and has continued to this day; last year, the average price of diesel in the US was $3.69 per gallon, which means the price has now increased by 49%. The eight major agricultural and industrial core regions of the US are highly dependent on transportation, and this sharp rise in oil prices has directly increased the operating costs for truck drivers and those working in agriculture, further intensifying inflationary pressures that were already elevated.

The subsequent trend will still be influenced by various variables, including global macroeconomic policies and geopolitical situations.
