Influenced by factors such as the Middle East situation, diesel prices in California, USA, have reached a record high. According to the latest data from the American Automobile Association, the average price of diesel in California rose to $7.018 per gallon on the 24th.

Data shows that the national average diesel price in the United States is approximately $5.345 per gallon, also at a relatively high level in recent years. The national average gasoline price is about $3.977 per gallon, further increasing compared to previous days.

Reports from the United States indicate that, due to the recent impact of the Middle East situation, global energy transportation has been hindered, leading to a significant rise in diesel futures prices. Additionally, California's refining capacity has declined, driving the continuous increase in local diesel prices. Since October 2025, two refineries in California have closed, reducing refining capacity by approximately 20%.

Industry insiders point out that the rise in diesel prices will push up transportation costs, potentially further affecting the prices of food, construction materials, and retail goods.
