EIA's weekly retail diesel average reached $5.967 per gallon in the week ending September 7, up $0.368 on the week and a fresh 2026 record, 58.4% above a year earlier. FreightPlus lifted its truckload fuel surcharge to $0.80 per mile, adding roughly $210 to a standard 600-mile load. The spike is supply-driven — Brent near $98 after attacks halted Saudi Aramco's 400,000 b/d Jazan refinery and Russia's diesel export ban through September — not from freight demand, which remains soft.
