Öl: US-Diesel knackt 6-Dollar-Marke und ist so teuer wie nie zuvor
Der Iran-Krieg treibt die Ölpreise und damit auch die Preise an den Tankstellen. Das trifft vor allem Unternehmen, die große Fahrzeuge betreiben.
Diesel in the United States reached its highest price in history at $6.00 per gallon (3,785 liters) due to the ongoing conflict between the United States and Iran. The war escalated military tensions, causing a rapid increase in gas prices. The energy crisis, caused by the disrupted oil trade through the Hormuz Strait, contributed to the higher prices.
The limited supply of oil from Iran led to a shortage in the global market, driving up prices further. On Thursday, the price of a barrel of Brent crude oil, a North Sea type, reached almost $110 per barrel for delivery in November, its highest level since May, following the military escalation between the US and Iran. The diesel price is composed of several components, with the crude oil price being the largest cost factor.
Between 2004 and 2025, it accounted for approximately 51 percent of the average monthly retail price of diesel on US highways. Additionally, distribution costs have increased as well.
