The national average price of a gallon of diesel moved up another 2 cents from last week, according to the U.S. Department of Energy. The price was at $2.918 for the week ending Monday, July 10, an increase of 51 cents compared to the same week last year.
Prices increased in every region except New England, where they fell only by one-tenth of a cent; and California, where the price continued to drop slightly by sixth-tenths of a cent. However, at $3.113 per gallon, the state continues to pay the most of any other.
