The national diesel average is at or below $4 depending on which survey you look at. The U.S. Energy Information Administration reported the seven-day average at $4.004 per gallon on Monday, May 14, while a daily survey by ProMiles showed the diesel average dipping below the $4 mark to $3.995 per gallon.

The EIA reported an overall decrease in the average price by more than 5 cents for the past week, with regional decreases ranging from 3.4 cents on the West Coast to 6.5 cents in the Midwest.

Following is a roundup of the regional price averages reported by the EIA:

U.S. – $4.004, down 5.3 cents
East Coast – $4.054, down 5.4 cents
New England – $4.192, down 4 cents
Central Atlantic – $4.135, down 5.9 cents
Lower Atlantic – $3.969, down 5.2 cents
Midwest – $3.897, down 6.5 cents
Gulf Coast – $3.915, down 4.7 cents
Rocky Mountain – $4.004, down 4.3 cents
West Coast – $4.277, down 3.5 cents
West Coast less California – $4.192, down 3.4 cents
California – $4.385, down 3.6 cents

According to ProMiles, which tracks fuel prices daily in the continental U.S., the national average went down six-tenths of a cent over the weekend.

Including state and federal sales taxes, Washington state had the highest average Monday at $4.439 per gallon, while Missouri had the lowest average at $3.754.

Oil prices continue to decline, as well. On Monday, light sweet crude was trading at $94.42 in New York, down $1.71 over the weekend. European crude known as Brent crude was trading at $112 on Monday, down another dollar from last week. Those sources of oil are commonly associated with diesel production.
