Former Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene Calls for End to Wars Amid Record Diesel Prices

Former Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene Calls for End to Wars Amid Record Diesel Prices

Former Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene has voiced strong concerns over the national diesel price reaching an unprecedented $6 per gallon. In a post on X, she described the situation as 'unreal' and emphasized that 'Everything we buy is delivered by diesel.' Her comments directly linked the rising fuel costs to ongoing international conflicts, specifically mentioning wars and advocating for their cessation. According to AAA data, diesel prices hit $5.9773 a gallon on Thursday, marking its highest recorded average. This represents a significant increase from $3.7060 a year prior. The national average for regular gasoline also saw an increase, reaching $4.2770, up from $3.1938 a year ago. GasBuddy's head of petroleum analysis, Patrick De Haan, highlighted that diesel powers a vast majority of the country's transportation and agricultural sectors, meaning these price hikes will inevitably affect the cost of consumer goods and deliveries.
