    The average diesel price in the U.S. increased two cents to $2.31 per gallon for the week of January 12, according to the Energy Information Administration (EIA), marking the first increase in price since September 29th of last year.

    The price of a barrel of U.S. crude oil increased slightly to $37.96 this morning after falling for six consecutive days, in response to reports that Saudi Arabia will curtail production, CNNMoney.com said.
