GOOD NEWS IN THE FUTURE FOR DIESEL PRICES

Patrick De Haan, head of petroleum analysis at GasBuddy. says while gas prices are up in some areas many other states have returned to declines. "The Great Lakes and Gulf Coast offer some of the nation's lowest gas prices, with the window of opportunity holding for the next few weeks to potentially re-test some of the levels seen a few weeks ago. The good news continues for average diesel prices, which slipped below $4 per gallon again and stand at their lowest level since the summer."
