- Diesel Prices Decline While Gasoline Costs Rise Across U.S. Markets
Mixed Fuel Trends Show Diesel Easing While Gas Prices Climb Fuel prices across the U.S. are showing mixed trends, with diesel prices continuing to decline while gasoline costs rise again. According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA), the national average diesel price dropped by 5 cents to $5.351 per gallon. Meanwhile, gasoline prices increased by 8 cents, reaching $4.123 per gallon. As a result, carriers are seeing some relief on diesel costs, which are critical for trucking operations. However, rising gasoline prices continue to impact consumers and overall transportation costs. Diesel Prices Fall Across Most Regions Diesel prices declined in most regions of the country, although the size of the decrease varied. The West Coast saw the largest drop, while the Rocky Mountain region experienced a slight increase. Regional diesel price highlights include: West Coast: Down 9 cents to $6.530 West Coast (excluding California): Down 8 cents to $5.926 East Coast: Down 7 cents to $5.425 Gulf Coast: Down 6 cents to $5.012 Midwest: Down 3 cents to $5.131 Rocky Mountain: Up 6 cents to $5.270 Despite these declines, diesel prices remain significantly higher than last year. According to AAA, the national average stands at $5.461 per gallon, which is nearly $1.93 higher year over year. Therefore, while short-term relief is evident, long-term cost pressures remain. Gasoline Prices Continue to Rise In contrast, gasoline prices are moving upward again after a brief decline. This increase is being seen across all major regions, with the Midwest experiencing the largest jump. Regional gasoline price highlights include: Midwest: Up 10 cents to $3.884 West Coast: Up 9 cents to $5.412 West Coast (excluding California): Up 4 cents to $4.967 Rocky Mountain: Up 8 cents to $4.016 East Coast: Up 7 cents to $3.958 Gulf Coast: Up 6 cents to $3.675 Meanwhile, AAA reports a slightly higher national gasoline average of $4.176 per gallon. This is about $1.03 higher than the same time last year. As a result, consumers continue to face elevated fuel expenses.

President Donald Trump dismissed the idea of seeking congressional approval for his Iran war as “totally unconstitutional” on Friday, calling those asking for it unpatriotic. Trump was asked about a deadline for getting approval to declare war through Congress while speaking to reporters outside the White House. Friday marks 60 days since Trump informed Congress about military operations by the United States against Iran, leading critics to point out that he could be in violation of the War Powers Resolution. A provision in the resolution requires a president to terminate military deployments after 60 days if not authorized by Congress. The Senate has rejected multiple attempts by Democrats to advance the resolution. Under the 1973 resolution, the president can extend the 60-day deadline by 30 days. Trump called seeking congressional approval “totally unconstitutional” in his mind, noting other presidents have conducted military operations without officially declaring war. “Nobody’s ever gotten it before. They consider it totally unconstitutional, but we’re always in touch with Congress. But nobody’s ever sought it before or asked for it before. It’s never been used before. Why should we be different?” Trump said. He called critics seeking congressional authorization unpatriotic and “losers.” He also claimed that a ceasefire deal extends his timeline. Trump said: No other country has ever done it. It’s never been, as you know, most people consider it totally unconstitutional. Also we had a ceasefire. That gives you additional time. But no other country’s done it. We’re in the midst of a big victory. This is a victory like we haven’t had since Venezuela, okay, to be honest with you. We haven’t had — but, you know, we have a country that lost its way, it really lost its way. That’s our country, in terms of the military. Now we have a great military. We’re on our way to another victory, a big victory, and I don’t think that it’s constitutional what they’re asking for. These are not patriotic people that are asking. You know, when they say — even the losers, even the ones that say all the wrong things admit that it’s been amazing what we’ve done. The president circled back to the question before moving on. “So many presidents, as you know, have gone and exceeded it. It’s never been used. It’s never been adhered to. And every other president considered it totally unconstitutional, and we agree with… [TheTopNews] Read More.6 hours ago - Harris Teeter carries more GLP-1 med weight
