U.S. diesel and gasoline prices continued to drop this week, according to data tracked by the Energy Information Administration (EIA), mirroring a decline in global oil prices the agency expects will continue thru 2017.
Diesel declined to an average of $2.112 per gallon this week in the U.S., EIA said, down 6.5 cents from last week and 8.21 cents per gallon cheaper compared to the same week in 2015.
The Gulf Coast and Midwest were home to the cheapest diesel in the U.S. this week, at $2.014 and $2.023 per gallon, respectively, while prices declined the most in the Midwest and California, with both registering a dip of 7.3 cents per gallon.
