Diesel flat in most recent week
Diesel prices nationwide stayed flat during the week ending Monday, Aug. 17, with the U.S. average price dropping just two-tenths of a cent across the country, according to the Department of Energy's weekly report.
The average price for a gallon of on-highway diesel nationwide is $2.615.
The only region to see an increase in prices was the Midwest, likely due to a 50 percent reduction in production at an Indiana refinery. Prices increased in this region by 2.4 cents.
The most significant decrease came in New England, where prices dropped 4.4 cents, followed by the Central Atlantic and West Coast less California regions, where prices dropped 1.6 cents.
The nation's most expensive diesel can be found in California at $2.945 per gallon, followed by the Central Atlantic region at $2.816 per gallon.
