Crude Prices Move Lower, But Diesel Prices Hold

Crude oil prices dropped to below $50 a barrel Monday as many of the oil producers from around the world meet in Abu Dhabi.  Despite the slight decrease in oil prices, diesel prices continue to slowly march higher.

The National average for a gallon of diesel increased four cents to $2.51, the Washington average ticked up one cent to $2.83, while Oregon’s average increased two cents to $2.65 a gallon.  Here are some of the lowest diesel prices we could find across the Inland Northwest:

• $2.65 a gallon in Yakima
• $2.64 a gallon in the Tri-Cities
• $2.59 a gallon in Pendleton
• $2.71 a gallon in Wenatchee
• $2.59 a gallon in Quincy
• $2.67 a gallon in Walla Walla
• $2.64 a gallon in Moses Lake
