Summary

EIA reported on September 18 that average U.S. retail diesel cost US$6.29 per gallon on September 14. Its analysis separates crude oil, refining, distribution, margins and taxes.

Why it may matter to operators

This is a dated U.S. benchmark, not a current Panamanian price. Fleet purchasing comparisons need a consistent market, unit and date; this note does not predict the next local price change.
