Diesel Prices for Truckers Decline in All Regions — Except California

The price at the pump for most commercial truck drivers showed a decline last week, but for those filling up in California, the average price for a gallon of diesel increased slightly.
Nationwide, the price averaged $2.498 per gallon for diesel — down from the $2.531 price the week before. That’s 3.3 cents cheaper than the week before and $1.137 less than a year ago last week, according to figures released this week by the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA).
Prices were down a whopping 6 cents per gallon in Midwest states, with the closest competitor — at half that savings — recorded in the Lower Atlantic states.
California’s .05 increase was barely noticeable from the week before, but keeps the Golden State at the top of the charts, with price averages of $2.813 per gallon.
