US diesel prices remain near record highs despite Trump's supply moves

Reuters, published by The Straits Times, reports that US diesel prices were near record highs on October 9, up 70% since the US-Israeli war on Iran began. Trump pressed allies to release emergency reserves and temporarily allowed tax-exempt red-dyed diesel on public roads. Major retailers remain wary of selling the dyed fuel because of tax and regulatory concerns; the White House says forthcoming guidance will clarify the rules.
