Diesel Fuel Prices Continue To Fall During the week ending April 13, U.S. on-highway diesel fuel prices fell 4.1 cents per gallon to $2.507. Prices have fallen each week since January 14, with declines totaling 56.2 cents per gallon, or 19 percent. In March, down $24 per barrel from average February prices, crude oil prices averaged $32 per barrel, constituting the lowest monthly average since January 2016.
