The national average price for a gallon of on-highway diesel hit its lowest point since the week ended July 1, 2013, after falling 1.4 cents in the week ended Aug. 25 to $3.821, according to the Department of Energy’s Energy Information Administration.
The price of diesel has now fallen eight straight weeks, dating back to the week ended July 7.

Average prices also dropped in all regions except the Rocky Mountain region, where the price rose four-tenths of a cent.
The Central Atlantic and East Coast as a whole led all price decreases with 2.5-cent and 2-cent drops, respectively.
