Highlights
The price of diesel rose for the third time in the past four weeks for a total of 6.1 cents a gallon. The cost dipped just one-tenth of a cent the week of Sept. 13. Trucking’s main fuel now costs 98.1 cents a gallon more than it did at this time a year ago. Diesel increased in nine of the 10 regions in EIA’s weekly survey, with the largest being 2 cents in the Lower Atlantic and Gulf Coast. The Rocky Mountain region, at seven-tenths of a cent, registered the only decrease.
