Diesel prices are rising across the nation, and California is taking an especially hard hit, as recent escalations in the Middle East continue to disrupt global oil flows.

San Francisco on April 4 became the first city in the United States to record an average diesel price above $8 per gallon, according to fuel price-tracking platform GasBuddy.
