> The EIA reported that the average US retail diesel price fell 1.2 cents to $2.583 per gallon for the week ended May 1, 2017, and gasoline prices also dropped significantly. Regional diesel prices declined in most areas, and PADD 1 and PADD 2 prices stayed roughly 28 to 32 cents above year-earlier levels.

## Why it matters

Lower diesel pump prices reduce fuel and freight costs for feed mills and grain haulers, which can ease delivered feed costs. Refinery outages on diesel units can temporarily tighten distillate supply, but the week's data pointed to softer prices.
