## Resource

Diesel prices are soaring to record highs nationwide, hitting an average of $5.85 per gallon—surpassing even last year’s peak. Missouri leads the charge at $5.44 a gallon, up over 50 cents since August 2023. While gas grabs headlines, diesel quietly powers the economy: trucks, trains, tractors, and construction equipment all depend on it. When diesel climbs, so do shipping and delivery costs—and that means higher prices for groceries, household goods, and everything you buy. This isn’t just a pump price—it’s a warning that inflation is spreading through your wallet. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
