ProMiles says diesel lower this week in all 10 regions

The ProMiles.com report released on April 10, showed the national diesel price average on Monday was $4.208 per gallon, down 2.6 cents from last week.

ProMiles produces a report that is similar to one published weekly by the federal Energy Information Administration. Key differences between the two reports are the type and number of fueling stations used to calculate the 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.

A decline of 7 cents in the California region was the largest reported of any region. New England was down by nearly 5 cents, the West Coast region saw a 4-cent drop, and the Lower Atlantic and East Coast regions dropped by about 3 cents.

With a price per gallon of $3.828, the Gulf Coast region reported the lowest average of any region this week.
