Since diesel is basically the same as home heating oil, over production from the harsh winter in the east is the likely cause. Out west fuel prices have steadily risen to around 2.75 for gas and close to three dollars for diesel.
My neck of Oregon about $2.59 for diesel, about a dime less for gas
yup, diesel has actually been dropping in our area, when it usually starts to rise this time of year. I paid less than regular last week.
Over the last few years there have been refineries changing to get more distilates (diesel/kerosene etc) rather than cracking for gas since the margins are much higher on distilates partly because refining costs are much lower. So, we may be finally seeing the effect with much more distilates available and hence lower diesel prices.
