DOE Diesel and
Gasoline
The diesel fuel prices that are
released are used by the trucking industry to make rate adjustments in
hauling contracts. Gasoline prices are frequently quoted by the media,
particularly during times of rising or falling prices, because of the
general interest to the public. The gasoline prices have been used in
analyses of the cost of the Environmental Protection Agency regulations
requiring oxygenated and reformulated gasoline in specified
non-attainment areas. The prices have also been used by the state of
California in helping to understand the high level of prices associated
with their distinct market. Most importantly, they have provided
national and state level legislators valuable independent, accurate and
timely information during times of volatile markets and prevented the
creation of unnecessary legislation in a free market system.
Data Supplied: US East Coast (New England, Central Atlantic, Lower
Atlantic), Midwest, Gulf Coast, Rocky Mountain, West Coast and
California weekly retail on- highway diesel prices.
