The U.S. Energy Information Administration reported that gasoline averages about $3.50 per gallon across the nation. The average price of diesel fuel fell to about $4.10 per gallon. Despite the increases for gasoline, its price remains down compared to a year ago during the same week. Diesel also is still down compared to 2022 levels.

Midwest: $3.39/$3.95
Gulf Coast: $3.15/$3.89

Fuel prices may soon see impacts from OPEC and its allies decision to cut oil production by more than 1.6 million barrels a day starting next month through the end of 2023. Some experts worry the cut may trigger further inflationary issues.
