# No wild ride for diesel in 2019, despite expectations - FreightWaves

> The EIA's final 2019 average US retail diesel price was $3.069 per gallon, up only about 2 cents from 2018. Diesel prices stayed stable despite the IMO 2020 rule and a September attack on a Saudi oil facility, which caused only a brief one-week spike.

## Why it matters

Diesel prices were flat over the year, so feed buyers' freight and fuel costs showed no major shock. Price risk from IMO 2020 demand shifts remains a forward consideration for 2020.
