美国柴油价格周五创下历史纪录，平均达到每加仑5.85美元1。这一峰值超过了2022年6月乌克兰战争期间创造的5.82美元高位1。同期汽油价格平均为每加仑4.15美元，较去年同期的3.20美元上涨1。价格飙升的背后是持续6个月的伊朗战争导致的全球燃油供应中断1，布伦特原油周五交易价格超过每桶95美元，而战前约为70美元1。
高企的柴油成本正在传导至日常商品价格。燃料占食品总成本的15%至30%1，这导致7月美国整体杂货价格同比上涨2.7%，其中海鲜商品上涨7%，新鲜水果上涨4.9%1。运输企业已开始调整费率来应对成本压力，亚马逊在4月对第三方卖家实施了3.5%的燃油和物流附加费1，UPS、FedEx和美国邮政服务也在战争早期增加了包裹费用1。
Diesel prices in the United States hit an unprecedented average of $5.85 per gallon on Friday, surpassing the previous record of $5.82 set in June 2022 during the Ukraine war crisis 1. The sharp increase stems from a six-month conflict with Iran that has disrupted global crude oil supplies, pushing Brent crude prices above $95 per barrel on Friday compared to approximately $70 before the war began in late February 1. Gasoline prices have similarly climbed to an average of $4.15 per gallon, up from $3.20 per gallon a year earlier 1.
The elevated fuel costs are cascading through the economy, substantially raising transportation expenses for goods and services. Fuel typically accounts for 15 to 30 percent of total food costs, according to data from the Independent Grocers Alliance 1. Grocery prices nationally rose 2.7 percent year-over-year in July, with seafood increasing 7 percent and fresh fruit jumping 4.9 percent 1. Major logistics companies have responded by imposing additional charges: Amazon implemented a 3.5 percent fuel and logistics surcharge on third-party sellers in April, while UPS, FedEx, and the US Postal Service all increased package delivery fees during the early stages of the conflict 1.
