June 11, 2026, 9:13 AM EDT. Diesel prices at U.S. pumps fell to $5.210 per gallon, marking the fifth consecutive weekly decline, but remain $1.739 higher than last year, the Energy Information Administration (EIA) reported. Supply constraints persist with crude stocks dropping by 7.2 million barrels and refinery utilization nearing capacity at 95.3%. Truckers express ongoing concern as fuel costs continue to strain freight operations. Freight surcharges linked to diesel prices are critical for carriers passing expenses to shippers. Analysts warn that inventory levels are dangerously low, risking rapid price reversals. Concurrently, policy discussions in Washington focus on infrastructure and driver welfare. Global fuel stocks in Singapore hit multi-year lows, underscoring tight market conditions. Despite recent price dips, uncertainty remains whether these signal a sustained relief or a temporary pause amid continued supply stress.
