The U.S. average gasoline price fell to $3.98 per gallon, dropping 38 cents in a month, while October consumer prices rose 0.4% from September—more than forecasters expected. The article attributes lower pump prices to falling crude prices, the switch to winter-blend fuel, and seasonal demand declines; diesel prices also eased, to an average of $6.15 per gallon.
Lower crude prices and seasonal fuel demand are easing transport-energy costs, including diesel, although diesel remains expensive. The lower fuel costs may offer some relief to feed and agricultural logistics, while crude-price reversals could quickly change that picture.
