AAA reports the price of diesel fuel has risen 87% in Florida over the past year.
Truck driver Adonis Branch said his vehicle takes 300 gallons, so when he fills it up, it’s around $1,500. But he said it doesn’t affect his pay or work.
“I still got plenty of work,” he said.
But AAA spokesperson Mark Jenkins said it does affect consumer prices.
“With rising diesel prices, that raises the price of things like groceries and, you know, the cost of delivering things to your doorstep,” Jenkins said.
If you’re someone who uses diesel fuel on a regular basis for travel, like in a large RV, or for your business, we want to know how the high prices are affecting you.
