Diesel fuel prices rose for the eighth week in the past nine, gaining 4.3 cents to $4.094, its highest price in 10 months, while gasoline jumped again. The diesel upturn followed last week’s 9.1-cent jump that put trucking’s main fuel over the $4 mark for the first time since November. Gasoline, meanwhile, jumped 7.2 cents to $3.793 a gallon, its 10th gain in 11 weeks over which it has risen a cumulative 56.4 cents. Gas leaped 13 cents last week. Monday, March 5th’s diesel increase marks the second time since May it has topped $4 in consecutive weeks. Last April and May it remained above that level for six straight weeks. Diesel is now 22.3 cents over the same week last year, and its net gain over the past nine weeks has been 31.1 cents.
