## Resource

Diesel prices are skyrocketing—over $6 a gallon in Minnesota, up 30 cents in just one week—driven by Middle East turmoil, attacks on oil infrastructure, and blockades at critical chokepoints like the Strait of Hormuz and Bab el-Mandeb. A year ago, diesel was nearly $3 cheaper; now, national averages hit over $6.20. Gas is up too, but not as sharply. Geopolitical chaos = higher pump prices—and your wallet’s paying the price.
