Diesel prices have spiked so high in parts of the United States that some gas stations can no longer display the correct cost, sparking a fresh wave of fury at President Donald Trump for having launched his deeply unpopular war against Iran.
As reported by the Independent on Saturday, some gas station displays in California have shown diesel prices sitting at $9.99, the "maximum price that gas stations can show on their digital displays, which typically only display four digits.” The average cost for a gallon of diesel in the United States reached its all-time high on Friday at $6.06, up from $5.85 last week and up from $3.71 the same time last year.
“Yes, you did read that right. Diesel prices just hit $10 in California. Good job, Trumpy!” wrote David Stockman, former GOP lawmaker and senior Reagan cabinet official, in a social media post on X.
