# Pain at the pump eases slightly as diesel prices inch downward

> AAA reports the US national average on-highway diesel price fell 16 cents from a week earlier to $6.09 per gallon, well below the record $6.52 set on Sept. 22. Gasoline dipped below $4 per gallon for the first time since July, as WTI crude traded at $88.12 per barrel. A tanker carrying 300,000 barrels of Russian diesel under a Trump-announced purchase deal has reportedly abandoned its US voyage after being refused entry to an East Coast port.

## Why it matters

Lower diesel costs ease freight and feed-delivery expenses for US buyers, but the stalled Russian supply deal leaves the diesel market tight. Prices remain far above pre-crisis levels, so the downward move is likely to be gradual.
