The U.S. diesel average price slipped 0.8 cent to $2.399 per gallon, according to a Department of Energy survey of fueling stations released Sept. 12, as the price of crude continued to fluctuate.
Diesel was 11.8 cents cheaper than it was a year ago, when the price was $2.517, according to the DOE survey.
Average prices fell in all regions except California and the West Coast, where they were higher by 1 cent and 0.2 cent, respectively. The price fell the most in the lower Atlantic, dropping 1.2 cents.
