With diesel prices at levels they have not visited since the end of 2018, Drilling Deep takes a look at some of the fallout from these lofty levels.

Justin King of Comdata, which among other things processes fuel purchases made through the Comdata card, joins host John Kingston to talk about how the higher prices have impacted some purchasing patterns, including the reaction he saw from the shutdown of the Colonial Pipeline.

Kingston will also address an often overlooked factor that is helping to drive the price of oil higher: the value of the U.S. dollar.
