Krugman did the arithmetic on the Russian diesel deal. 300,000 tons is a bit over 2 million barrels and America burns about 4 million a day, so Krasnov sold out Ukraine for roughly 12 hours of fuel. Meanwhile Canada has a diesel surplus right next door.

The owners of diesel vans and pickups can expect to collectively spend almost £8. 5bn at the pump this year, according to analysis for the Guardian, after diesel prices climbed to record highs due to a global fuel shortage caused by disruption to refineries in the Middle East and Russia.

National petrol prices surge past $2.40 a litre with little relief in sight

Drivers in Australia have not faced pump prices this high since the opening weeks of the Iran war. Things are unlikely to change until the situation is resolved.

Editorial: Gasoline will get more expensive now - but it's not really a shock

This autumn the price of gasoline will rise by 4 kronor per liter. That may feel sour. But you just have to get used to it.

The United States is the world's largest exporter of diesel. Importing a small amount of diesel from Russia will do nothing to bring down prices for American farmers and truckers.

@portlandken.bsky.social

Trump is telling Americans that Ukrainian attacks on Russian oil facilities is the reason diesel prices are high. THAT IS A LIE. Ukraine's attacks had no perceptible impact on diesel prices; Trump's Iran war is the cause of the spike.

Here's the data, straight from the Trump Administration itself.
