GasBuddy's national average for U.S. diesel fell just below $6 a gallon on Nov. 14, its first sub-$6 reading in two months.
AAA's daily average stayed higher at $6.0366, and the EIA's weekly estimate was $6.127 for Nov. 9.
The decline followed lower crude prices, with Brent down 18.5% over the two weeks before the report, and seasonal drops in road demand.
Cheaper diesel lowers freight and fuel costs for feed ingredient transport and farm operations, which eases pressure on feed margins. Crude weakness and softer distillate demand point to lower diesel prices in the near term.
