## Resource

Gas prices are surging, with diesel hitting record highs over six dollars a gallon—crushing truckers, schools, and travelers alike. Big rigs like Steven Sams’ are paying 250 cents more per gallon than last year, while Burke County Schools dumped thirty-nine thousand dollars on fuel—22K more than just 15 months ago. The spike? Blamed on Middle East conflict and soaring crude oil costs, squeezing small businesses and deterring fans from events. Still, a few off-ramp spots offer slightly better deals—like Hickory’s five-dollar-sixty-four-cent diesel. The pump’s pain is spreading across the economy.
