On-highway diesel fuel prices fell across the U.S. this week after three consecutive weeks for rising costs, according to our sister site, Aggregates Manager.

The greatest decrease this week occurred in the Lower Atlantic region, which experienced a $0.016-per-gallon dip from last week’s prices but a $0.039-per-gallon year-over-year jump.

Three regions saw an increase in diesel fuel prices, with the Rocky Mountain region experiencing the greatest climb at $0.018 per gallon a week more than last week. The region’s diesel costs are $0.118 per gallon higher than a year ago.

Overall, national prices also dropped this week. Diesel fuel costs are $0.006 per gallon lower than a week ago. However, year-over-year diesel costs are up $0.059 per gallon.
