Retail diesel prices dipped slightly the week after hitting records, according to the DOE's EIA data, but fuel-industry experts do not expect the decline to last. Wholesale prices were rising again on the Monday after the dip.
Diesel had risen 29% in three weeks to $5.25 on March 14.
Expectations of renewed increases keep fuel costs elevated for feed transport and milling. Buyers should plan for continued high diesel costs rather than relief.
