Breitbart: The national average price for diesel fuel on Wednesday reached an all-time record high, impacting 3.5 million American truckers throughout the nation.
Rising 84 cents in one week, Wednesday’s national average hit $4.883, up 13 cents overnight, according to AAA.
Diesel transports about 70 percent of the nation’s freight tonnage, as just about all highway trucks are fueled by diesel engines, according to Diesel Technology Forum. About 3.5 million truck drivers and 711,000 trucking companies rely on diesel.
The record-high diesel prices will likely increase the cost of everyday products, such as clothing, produce, paper products, building materials, and vehicles.
The impact on everyday items will also increase the record-high inflation. New inflationary numbers will be reported Thursday. more
Buckle up, it’s going to be a bumpy ride.
I remember well what it was like under dummy Jimmy Carter. This time looks to be far worse.
Thank a Democrack
I hope it goes to $10.00. I won’t be happy when I fill up but I can afford it. The demographic that constantly votes for these asshole will get hit the hardest. Maybe they’ll figure it out.
All according to the plan.
We all can afford it, Putin can NOT!
Why don’t truckers simply buy electric tractor-trailers?
Problem sorted.
You’re welcome!

You Libtards are sooooo stupid. Sure he can. Russia and China are best buds now. They don’t need us. Unintended consequences from the retard admin
Brad, I believe anon stole your green monster dick avatar…
I’m gonna need a program to keep up with what each anon is saying?
One might think their plan is to start the civil war before Nov.
Loco
There’s a difference. I have a big dick, he is one. I hope management eliminates these clowns soon. I have noticed a difference with the change. Much better.
Eww, you got me good there. You’re just to smart for me.
Biden is Carter. This is the most repressive economic environment we have seen since Carter’s era. I hope the government monopolized schools haven’t destroyed the middle class forever with their unopposed Marxist indoctrination.
Never let a crises go to waste. That’s what the dems like to say. Well Brad makes a good point about $10.00 gal. gas at the pump. Keep it up there and put it in the face of all the voters during the midterms. I have to deal with a lot of idiot libtards and when they complain about the cost of gas I let them know they did this. Where it gets fun is when I say I can absorb it, painful but not the end of the world for me. I’ll sharpen my comments with the $10.00 and say let it climb on up there. Their children are the one’s really getting hurt by this but they need to learn a real life lesson. This is your “We”re all equal / Participation trophy”. Shame you were never prepared for the real world pain that your teachers failed to teach.
The problem with $10 a gallon for gas or diesel is it will drive the cost of everything through the roof. I’m thinking there will be many consequences to this.
Like people stop spending money, and the businesses that are affected most will go out of business. Major increase in homelessness. But don’t worry, the government’s here to help. In other words a major depression that will be worse than 1929. It the plan now that the Chiflu is gone down.
@Brad- Agreed, yet only some Lib’s will feel the pain of a $10 pump price because it’s their duty to enjoy self flagellation. The current 1-2% EV crowd think energy is free from charging stations or the hotel porch plug. Have a new property purchasers, raw land, no power nearby. Drove up from town (100 miles) in an EV. Clueless. But in their minds they’re “green” and “sustainable”.
I have one buddy that has parked his truck and is helping his brother run the family farm. He is an independent operator and he has told me that the shippers have not changed their pay rates to coincide with the increased fuel cost.
@Brad,
What level of economic pain do you think it will take to wake them up and they finally figure it out? I was contemplating this and out of the leftists that I know that actually “voted” for Biden one part of the group are the more elite and they are very fanicially secure and are pretty insulated from these consequesences. The others will dutifully do and believe what the MSM and social media platforms tell them. When it comes to actually admitting they were wrong both groups would actually rather die on a pile of shit than do that.
Honestly, who Gave Anonymous (the one who is a Jackass) 2 thumbs up?
The way to really fuck up Russia is for the rest of the world to pay their $7-10 per gallon while North America (FULL OF OIL) pays $2.
It’s called a competitive advantage!
A “YUGE ONE” at that.

toenex, I’ve already stopped spending money. My car is parked and I only use it to go to church (rideshare with my sister) and to drive 45 min to help my brother understand his insurance issues. Any other necessities, my sisters pick up on the way home from work.
That’s it.

*Joe Biden is not running this country. Whoever ‘they’ are have been working behind the scenes for the last several decades. They chose and groomed Obama to fill in the slot as president to begin the destruction of the USA (they were running Obama). Biden was selected to finish the job. Oh, and Biden/Harris were chosen because they were the most incompetent fools who were already in government. They were chosen and installed via vote fraud to rub our faces in the fact that the most incompetent people were installed in spite of all our efforts to elect (which we DID) Trump. Every step toward total destruction of our way of life and our nation is them shoving our faces into a pile of shit – “We are in charge and you (We the People) can’t do anything about it”. imho

We have basically 3 years left of the coup. Just read the headlines on Breitbart. There’s a LOT of pain coming. As far as the Lib elites you’re exactly right. But it’s not just the Liberal getting a shot of truth. It’s also, and this actually might be more important, motivating conservatives to take action.
Those Labs In Ukraine could really blow us right into WWIII. The same people that are responsible for those labs could force us into a hot war with Russia just to cover their tracks. Something needs to happen and quickly.
