McDonald's cuts Big Mac meal to $8 amid record $6.23 diesel prices squeezing franchisees.

McDonald's is offering Big Mac meals for $8 to attract customers while diesel prices hit a record $6.23 per gallon, increasing delivery costs for franchisees. Despite this price cut, the company faces pressure from rising fuel and supply chain expenses, which have slowed sales growth and hurt margins. CEO Chris Kempczinski acknowledged execution issues in Q2 and plans to focus on value offerings to regain customer traffic. The company aims to recover fully by 2027, but franchisees currently bear the cost burden amid high fuel prices and inflationary pressures.
