The Department of Energy reported that the average price of diesel fuel increased by more than 5 cents last week in the United States. The price increase brings the average on-road diesel price to $2.445 per gallon. Despite rising prices, the US average is still more than 11 cents lower than it was the same week last year. Prices rose in all regions of the country, with the largest increase in the Gulf Coast and West Coast regions minus California.
