Diesel fuel prices and gas prices are still behaving like they have for the past 10 years. In other words, nothing is stable. When you think something is going to be stable with your fleet fueling costs, it changes like the weather.
Diesel fuel prices fell for a fourth week, dipping 0.8 cent to $3.841 a gallon, the lowest price since July 2012, the Department of Energy said Monday.
For 2 weeks in a row diesel fuel prices have dropped though only 1.1 cents a gallon this week and a penny a gallon last week. Diesel fuel prices nationally now stand at $3.869 a gallon.
Diesel fuel prices rose for a second consecutive week, rising 2.4 cents to $3.89 a gallon, while gas prices jumped 7 cents to $3.673. Diesel fuel had declined for 10 weeks prior to the current gains, dropping 31.4 cents in that string of downturns.

Fuel cards or fleet cards are payment methods for purchasing fuel at truck stops. These fleet cards can also be used to pay for various maintenance/expenses on vehicles in a fleet management.
Why are diesel fuel audits important? It almost seems like an effortless question. It’s common sense really, right? Well…is your fleet auditing their fuel purchases? If I had to put a number to it, I’d guess that only 50% of fleets are doing it. Even that is probably a generous number. Out of the 50% probably half are only doing
8 for 8. Diesel fuel prices fell yet another week, making this the 8th straight week. The national Department of Energy (DOE) reported diesel fuel prices fell 5.5 cents for the week of April 22, 2013. This makes the cost of diesel fuel $3.887 per gallon. This almost 2 dimes (19.8 cents) cheaper than this time last year.
