Much like an afternoon at a trampoline park, what goes down, will eventually come up.
After a deep dive last week, it only took a week for diesel prices to bounce back to a 4-cent increase.
The national price per gallon climbed to $3.494 from $3.458 according to the Petroleum Administration for Defense District. Despite the increase, it is still less than the national price from two weeks ago before the sharp nosedive.
A couple of regions had increased more than the others. The Lower Atlantic rose more than five cents fro $3.432 to $3.487. Meanwhile the Gulf Coast rose from $3.13 to $3.19.
The California region was the only with a significant decline ticking down from $4.623 to $4.597.
