Diesel prices largely up again, ProMiles report says

The ProMiles.com report released on June 26, showed the national diesel price average on Monday was $3.88 per gallon, up 1.4 cents from last week.

ProMiles produces a report that is similar to one published weekly by the federal Energy Information Administration. A key difference between the two reports is the type and number of fueling stations used to calculate its averages. While ProMiles uses its direct feed from thousands of truck stops to develop its averages, EIA surveys 400 truck stops and convenience stores nationwide. The EIA report is also the average price of diesel for the previous week.

For the second consecutive week, most regions saw an increase to their average diesel price with the largest being 4.9 cents in the California region.

The West Coast region saw its average price jump by 3.4 cents, and the Gulf Coast was up by just under 2 cents. A 1.1-cent increase was reported in the Midwest.

Regions that saw a decrease included 1.8 cents in the Rocky Mountain region and 1 cent in New England.

The East Coast, Central Atlantic, Lower Atlantic and West Coast without California regions saw a change of less than one cent in either direction.

With a price per gallon of $3.503, the Gulf Coast region reported the lowest average of any region this week.
