ProMiles says national diesel average down 8 cents

The ProMiles.com report released on Feb. 13, showed the national diesel price average on Monday was $4.605 per gallon, down 8 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.

Every region reported a decrease this week, led by a 10.7-cent drop in the Gulf Coast. The Lower Atlantic and Midwest regions were down by nearly 9 cents, and the East Coast’s average price dipped by 7.2 cents.

With a price per gallon of $4.19, the Gulf Coast region reported the lowest average of any region this week.
