The national average price of diesel has fallen 2.6 cents in the last week and stands at $4.06 per gallon.

SOME STATE ARE SEEING LOWER PRICES BUT THEY'LL SOON RISE AS WELL

Patrick De Haan, head of petroleum analysis at GasBuddy says "oil prices have shown some signs of struggling last week after coming within arms reach of $80 per barrel before falling closer to $76, but all eyes are on refiners as utilization remained seasonally weak, around 80% of capacity, meaning there's less gasoline and diesel being produced. That's why it's just a matter of time before prices collide with rising demand and start to accelerate again."
