# US Gas Falls Below $4 for First Time Since July. Why Is Diesel Still Above $6?

> The US average gasoline price fell to $3.98 per gallon, down about 17 cents in a week, as crude prices eased. Diesel averaged $6.13 per gallon, with declines lagging because US distillate inventories were about 13% below the five-year average in late October and are expected to remain especially tight in the East this winter.

## Why it matters

Low distillate stocks and winter heating demand are supporting diesel prices even as cheaper crude and seasonal factors ease gasoline costs. Persistently high diesel can sustain freight and farm-input costs, while lower crude prices may pressure energy markets.
