By Land Line staff

The average price of a gallon of on-highway diesel had an increase of 2.4 cents from last week to $2.431 per gallon for the week ending Monday, June 13. This marks the 10th consecutive weekly increase after a short-lived one-week decrease and the highest national average since Nov. 23, 2015, when diesel prices were $2.445.

Diesel price averages went up in all 10 regions in the U.S., according to the Energy Information Administration. The largest average increase was in the California region, where prices at the pump rose by 4.5 cents per gallon. Prices were up nine-tenths of a cent in the Lower Atlantic region, the smallest increase in the nation.

how exactly do higher fuel prices accomplish this

Price of oil goes up. All the oil workers go back to the oil fields. Reduces the track capacity for general freight.

Plus those that don't have keen business management, fuel costs drive them out of business.
