HOUSTON, October 26 -

Diesel prices by EIA region

US on-highway diesel - EIA survey week of October 26, 2026

$6.35/gal

The US on-highway diesel national average is $6.35 per gallon, a 208-cent premium over regular gasoline at $4.27. EIA's weekly On-Highway Diesel Fuel Price survey releases Monday afternoon ET. [EIA · 26 Oct 2026] Its diesel coverage is narrower than its gasoline coverage: the agency prices the United States, the five PADDs, three PADD 1 sub-districts, West Coast less California, and California. No other state has a diesel series, so every other state on this site carries its district figure and is labelled as such. Diesel sits above regular almost every week of the year because of ULSD specification cost, year-round trucking demand, and winter heating-oil correlation in the Northeast.
