The biggest price jump was in the Midwest region, up 3.2 cents to $2.919. Not all regions saw price increases: the region that needed a price break most—California—saw a modest 0.6-cent slide to $3.113. California was still the most expensive region in which to buy diesel in spite of this. The cheapest diesel can be found at the Lower Atlantic region at $2.849 after a 1.5-cent hike.
