Diesel prices steady after huge spike earlier in January
After a large spike in price, diesel prices fell back.

After a huge spike last week, diesel prices fell back somewhat dropping from $3.715, which was an increase of more than 11 cents, to $3.659.

All but two regions fell which contributed to the drop in price. In fact, New England rose by nearly two cents from $3.944 to $3.961 while the Central Atlantic region rose slightly from $3.976 to $3.995.

The Midwest Region’s per gallon price fell the most from $3.648 to $3.568. The Gulf Coast was the a close second to the largest decline in price of all the regions plummeting from $3.455 to $3.378.

Meanwhile, the Rocky Mountain region fell by more than five cents per gallon.
