As gas averages $4.31 nationwide, diesel fuel hits all-time high: "It's painful. It's real hard"

Nationwide gas averages have reached $4.31 per gallon, marking a 15-cent increase from the previous week, while diesel fuel for trucks has climbed to an all-time high of over $6 a gallon.

The price surge is primarily attributed to the ongoing war with Iran. Meanwhile, political responsibility for the economic impact has become a point of contention, with President Trump placing the blame on Ukraine rather than factors related to the conflict in Iran.
