How EIA measures it
Each Monday EIA collects the cash self-serve diesel price at the pump, taxes included, as of 8:00 a.m. local time, from a sample of truck stops and service stations in the contiguous U.S. National and regional averages are weighted by each outlet's annual sales volume. The release comes out on Tuesday. EIA names the regions by PADD, the old wartime Petroleum Administration for Defense Districts: PADD 1 is the East Coast (split into 1A, 1B and 1C), 2 the Midwest, 3 the Gulf Coast, 4 the Rocky Mountains and 5 the West Coast. California gets its own line.

Questions
Is the price of diesel going up or down today?
EIA publishes weekly, not daily. The latest U.S. average, for the week of Nov 9, 2026, is $6.13, down $0.17 from the week before (-$0.17). Pump prices can move between releases.
Why did diesel prices go up this week?
In the latest EIA week (Nov 9, 2026) it did not: the U.S. average is $6.13, down $0.17 from the week before (-$0.17). EIA reports prices, not reasons; retail diesel generally follows crude oil and refinery supply with a lag.
Will the price of diesel go up this week?
Nobody can say. EIA publishes each week's price after the fact: the next one, for the following Monday, comes out on Tuesday. The last four weekly U.S. averages were $6.28, $6.35, $6.29, $6.13.
What is the current diesel price now?
EIA's latest weekly U.S. average is $6.13 per gallon (week of Nov 9, 2026), from $5.74 on the Gulf Coast to $7.90 in California. Pump prices today may differ from the weekly figure.
