Diesel Prices Up Slightly, Gas Declines in Latest EIA Report

Diesel Prices Slightly Up as Gasoline Declines Nationwide

According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA), diesel prices rose slightly during the week ending November 11, 2025. Meanwhile, gasoline prices continued to ease across most regions.

National Diesel Prices Overview

The national average for on-highway diesel increased by 2 cents to $3.92 per gallon. Gasoline, on the other hand, dropped by about 3 cents to $3.24 per gallon. This marks the first modest diesel uptick in nearly a month, following several weeks of gradual declines.

Regional Diesel Price Changes

• East Coast: $4.01 per gallon (+1 cent)
• Midwest: $3.79 per gallon (+3 cents)
• Gulf Coast: $3.61 per gallon (+2 cents)
• Rocky Mountain: $3.85 per gallon (+1 cent)
• West Coast (avg): $4.61 per gallon (+2 cents)

California remains the most expensive market, averaging $4.97 per gallon, while the Gulf Coast continues to offer the lowest prices nationwide.

Gasoline Prices Continue to Ease

National gasoline prices declined again this week, with the sharpest drops seen in the Midwest and Gulf Coast regions. Falling crude oil prices and increased refinery output are helping to reduce retail fuel costs heading into late November.

Market Factors Influencing Diesel Prices

The EIA notes that diesel prices are being supported by higher global demand for distillate fuels as winter approaches, along with limited refining capacity in certain markets. Analysts also point to inventory drawdowns in the Gulf Coast and East Coast regions as short-term factors contributing to this week’s increase.

Outlook for Trucking and Fuel Costs

Despite the minor rise, average diesel remains well below last year’s level, when prices hovered around $4.30 per gallon. Many carriers continue to watch fuel market trends closely as freight volumes remain soft and operating costs high.

If crude oil prices stay stable and refineries maintain production levels, analysts expect diesel prices to remain steady or edge slightly lower through the end of the month.
