July 09, 2013
The Department of Energy’s Energy Information Administration (EIA) reported this week that the average price per gallon of diesel gasoline rose 1.1 cents to $3.828 per gallon, snapping a six-week stretch of declines that saw prices fall a cumulative 7.3 cents. The Associated Press reported that the price jumped last week, “due to worries that turmoil in Egypt could disrupt oil and gas shipments through the Suez Canal.”
