The US national average diesel price stayed above $6 per gallon for the eighth straight week, at $6.29 in the week ending November 2, down 6 cents from the prior week. Prices fell in every region, with California highest at $8.08 and the Lower Atlantic lowest at $5.81.
Spot trucking rates softened slightly.
Diesel remaining above $6 keeps trucking and feed delivery costs elevated, which tightens margins for feed buyers relying on road freight. The weekly decline is small and does not change the high-cost picture.
