Diesel continues decline, falls to $2.186

The weekly retail on-highway diesel price for Monday dropped 33 cents a gallon to $2.186 a gallon this week, according to the Energy Information Administration.

The price, posted today, but actually the average for Monday, Feb. 16, was delayed because of the President’s Day holiday.

Monday’s price reflects a drop of $1.210 per gallon from the same week last year.

All regions and California showed a decrease in average prices with the New England region topping the chart at $2.559 per gallon. The Gulf Coast was the least expensive at $2.133 per gallon.

California’s price per gallon was $2.262, down 0.7 cents from last week, and it fell $1.249 per gallon from the same week last year.
