The U.S. average retail price of on-highway diesel is the benchmark fuel cost for trucking and, for most carriers, the largest variable cost. The EIA publishes it weekly. As of early June 2026 it stood $5 a gallon, up sharply from a year earlier, after the closure of the Strait of Hormuz raised crude and refined-product prices, on EIA data.
