The relentless surge in diesel fuel prices is sending shockwaves through the economy, forcing businesses across a wide range of industries to raise their prices to offset the soaring transportation costs. Maui Brewing, a craft brewery in Kihei, Hawaii, is just one example of the many companies grappling with this challenge.
