National diesel average down another 8 cents

The ProMiles.com report released on Nov. 28, showed the national diesel price average on Monday was $5.268 per gallon, down 8.2 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 in order 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.

All but one region saw its average price drop, including by around 9 cents in the Gulf Coast, Midwest and Central Atlantic regions.

New England reported an 8.8-cent decline, and the East Coast was down by 7.7 cents.

The Rocky Mountain region had the only price increase at 1.6 cents.

This week’s lowest average price is $4.677 per gallon in the Gulf Coast.
