Diesel Surge Hits Pennsylvania Hard | Harrisburg News

Diesel prices are soaring to a record six dollars and eight cents a gallon in Pennsylvania, up from just over four a year ago — and even regular gas is climbing to four thirty. This isn’t just a trucker’s problem: diesel fuels freight trucks, farm equipment, construction gear, and refrigerated food haulers. A single long-haul truck could see its fuel bill spike by $32,000 annually, pushing costs up for businesses and ultimately consumers. Global supply chain snarls, overseas conflicts disrupting refineries, and seasonal spikes in demand for heating oil and farming fuel are driving the surge. Northeastern PA, with its massive logistics hubs, may feel the pinch hardest — adding another layer of inflation that could squeeze your wallet.
