What happened
Diesel prices surged to record highs, reportedly topping $6.50 a gallon nationally in September 2026. This price rise occurred amid discussions at the 81st UN General Assembly regarding the Ukraine conflict and international relations. During these talks, officials from Russia blamed global energy market instability on Ukrainian strikes against civilians and cross-border infrastructure facilities. President Donald Trump also urged Vladimir Zelensky to cease strikes on Russian refineries, stating they were causing a global shortage.
