After climbing throughout the month of April, diesel prices dipped slightly as the new month began. The average price barely lowered the last week of April from $2.597 to $2.595 per gallon, but dropped to $2.583 per gallon by May 1, according to the Energy Information Administration.
Prices are still about an average 32 cents higher than prices were a year ago this week. This may be a short-lived dip in prices, as prices traditionally increase as Memorial Day approaches.
