# Gas and Diesel Prices: Regular Falls, Diesel Stays Above $6

> The U.S. national average for regular gasoline fell to about $4.01 per gallon on Nov. 9, down roughly 36 cents from a month earlier, while diesel averaged about $6.17. Crude oil’s decline has pulled gasoline lower, but diesel remains expensive amid tight distillate supplies and disruptions to refining and energy flows.
