WASHINGTON: The average price US truckers paid for diesel fuel reached a new record of $4.18 a gallon, after rising 3.4 cents over the last week, the federal Energy Information Administration said on Monday.
That national price for diesel is up $1.37 from a year ago, thanks mostly to rising crude oil prices which hit a record $119.93 a barrel on Monday at the New York Mercantile Exchange.
Truckers on Monday drove their big rigs through downtown Washington and held a rally at the Capitol to protest high diesel prices. It costs about $1,200 to fuel up a tractor trailer.
