How it is calculated

Where today sits

US diesel is $6.179/gal nationally, down $0.020/gal on the week. The ten districts span $2.446/gal, from $5.645/gal in Lower Atlantic (PADD 1C) to $8.091/gal in California.

EIA publishes a current weekly price and a district breakdown, not a price history, so there is no ten-year series for the US. The Canadian site carries one because NRCan publishes one.
