Las Vegas Valley gas prices up 17 cents in a week, diesel at record in Nevada

Gasoline prices in the Las Vegas Valley have increased by 17 cents over the past week. Simultaneously, diesel prices in Nevada are consistently reaching daily all-time records. These record-high diesel costs are placing significant pressure on U.S. farmers, such as those in northeast Missouri who operate combines and semi-trucks for crop harvesting. This economic strain on the agricultural sector is creating a potential threat to overall food prices across the United States.
