Continuing a month-long downward move, the benchmark diesel price dropped to $3,708/g this week. Diesel prices have seen a very slow decline of approximately $0.10/g this summer, however, this is a retreat from the highest prices of the year. The year-over-year trend looks very promising as we have seen a steady average decline since the near $6.00/g high prices of 2022.

In contrast, gasoline has seen an increase at the pump from $3.10/g to $3.352/g in recent weeks. Combined, these price moves bring the price gap between gasoline and diesel to a mere $0.35/g.

For those debating whether to buy a gas or diesel powered truck the answer seems fairly clear. At current market prices and with the downward diesel price trend in play, diesel fuel will deliver the most miles per dollar spent at the pump.
