Gas Declines 2¢ to $2.856
Diesel fell for the second consecutive week, dipping 0.9 cents to $3.162 a gallon as oil prices rose, the United States Department of Energy reported.
Gasoline also saw its second straight decline, falling 2 cents to $2.856 a gallon, DOE said following its weekly survey of filling stations.
Diesel’s decline followed last week’s 1.3-cent drop to $3.171, which followed the $3.184 price a week earlier that was the highest in more than than two years.
Monday’s price left trucking’s main fuel 38.7 cents over the same week a year ago, while gasoline is 22.7 cents over last year.
Oil rose almost $2 to more than $85 a barrel Monday on the New York Mercantile Exchange, Bloomberg reported.
Each week, DOE surveys about 350 diesel filling stations to compile a national snapshot average price.
