Prices in Indiana are 6.5 cents per gallon lower than a month ago and stand 30.9 cents per gallon lower than a year ago. The national average price of diesel has increased 0.8 cents in the last week and stands at $3.632 per gallon.
“The national average has inched higher, driven primarily by sharp gas price increases on the West Coast, where refinery maintenance and outages have created a ripple effect in neighboring states, pushing prices higher in many communities,” said Patrick De Haan, head of petroleum analysis at GasBuddy. “While most of the country has experienced a relatively quiet week for gas prices, the West Coast has seen rapid increases— a trend that should slow in the coming days.”
