AAA reported the U.S. regular gasoline average fell about 36 cents over the month to $4.0093 per gallon on Nov. 9, while diesel averaged $6.1723, or $2.16 more.
The article links gasoline’s decline to lower crude prices but says diesel remains expensive amid tight distillate supply and refinery disruptions.
Refining disruptions, heavy U.S. exports and interrupted energy flows have tightened distillate availability, keeping diesel prices elevated even as crude falls. That supports diesel prices while weighing on crude benchmarks.
After 250 past bullish geopolitics events, ULSD / Diesel moved a median +1.7% over 5 sessions (58% higher; middle half -3.6% to +8.7%), and +0.9% over 20.
After 255 past bearish geopolitics events, Crude Oil (WTI) moved a median -2.4% over 5 sessions (31% higher; middle half -7.0% to +1.7%), and -5.0% over 20.
