While only a $0.02 increase from the previous week, overall national average prices are only down around 43 cents per gallon compared to same time last year.
So far in 2020, a peak of $3.08 occured the week of Jan. 6 and diesel prices had, on average, declined or remained stable since then. Prices have now experienced a steady rise throughout the entire month of November 2020.
National average gasoline prices are still down year-over-year but are also continuing an increase week-over-week with U.S. national averages hitting $2.24 per gallon as of Dec. 28, 2020.
Current average diesel prices by region decreased a bit more year-over-year than the previous report, between $0.39 and $0.45, according to the EIA, due in part to a typical price rise this time of year that prices have not matched. All regions saw a decent increase week-over-week.
