1) That isn't a question.
2) Desil doesn't exist.
3) If all semi drivers went on strike in North America simultaneously (somehow) then the diesel would never get to the pumps, nor would the regular gas, and since there would be a massive demand and a tiny supply, the price of gas would sky-rocket.
4) If all semi driver go on strike, we have bigger things to worry about than the price of gas since the price of anything that must be transported by truck would also sky-rocket. Not to mention the damage it would do to the economy.

well it might but what would probably happen is that the cost of your daily living stuff like grocerys and everything you get from walmart and target ect.. would go up cuz the supply would be shut off i.e supply and demand but yes fuel would probably go down cuz the goverment would step in and force the oil companies to lower prices to get the trucks back on the road but maybe not gasoline prices my bet just diesel fuel prices

It would go up.
Truck drivers deliver fuel. No fuel = higher price. Much higher.
Also the transport industry brings almost everything across the country by tractor trailer. It would cause huge price increases on just about everything. Capitalism.

NO. In fact, the shortages at the local level will cause all fuel costs to increase. This is supply and demand. Econ 101. As supply is reduced, the cost will have to rise so as to not completely exhaust the now falsely limited local resources.

i hope so if no goods get moved then the world stops so the price is dictated by what consumers will pay for things not what is a fair value

Ummm...that's a statement, not a question.
