National diesel average down again, ProMiles report says

The ProMiles.com report released on July 10, showed the national diesel price average on Monday was $3.842 per gallon, down 1.5 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.

Most regional prices were also down, including a 3.4-cent decline per gallon in the West Coast without California region.

The Lower Atlantic reported a decrease of just over 2 cents, and four other regions were between 1 and 2 cents lower per gallon than a week ago.

Increases came in the Central Atlantic (1.2 cents) and California (one-fifth of a cent).

With a price per gallon of $3.472, the Gulf Coast region reported the lowest average of any region this week.
