The US national average diesel price has stayed above $6 per gallon for an eighth consecutive week, reaching $6.29 for the week ending November 2 after a 6-cent weekly decline. Prices are about $2.54 per gallon higher than a year earlier, and all regions recorded declines in the latest week, with California the most expensive.
Persistently high diesel prices raise trucking and feed delivery costs and reflect a tight distillate market. The modest weekly decline signals only slight easing and does not change the overall upward pressure on fuel costs.
