U.S. diesel prices have reached a record high. Gas prices are also on the rise, with the average price in the Bay Area currently just under $6 a gallon.

This increase has been steady over the past six months. Consumers can expect to feel the effects of these higher prices as the holidays approach.

Further information on the rising gas prices and their impact is available from KTVU, including commentary from Tom Vacar on the recent trend in gas prices.
