Diesel Continues Down
More easing on fuel prices is welcome news for industry still challenged with depressed freight rates.
National Observations
- Nationally, diesel dropped another 4.6 cents a gallon last week. It is now close to the level it was at four weeks ago before the recent spike.
- The latest short term outlook from the US Energy Information Administration suggests more easing in the future. Crude oil is expected to drop to $58/barrel in the fourth quarter of 2025 and $50/barrel in the first quarter of 2026.
