# What the oil surplus actually means for a trucker, a landscaper and a restaurant: diesel is still $6.13

> The EIA put U.S. on-highway diesel at $6.127 a gallon for the week of November 9, down from a September peak of $6.529 but about 60% above a year earlier. Heating oil futures were near $4.27 a gallon, 18.8% below their September high. The IEA said Russian energy attacks continue to constrain diesel supply to international markets.

## Why it matters

Wholesale diesel is falling, but retail prices lag and remain high, keeping transport and processing costs elevated for feed buyers. Diesel supply tightness from Russia could limit further declines.
