Diesel, Natural Gas Prices Jump in Latest EIA Data
EIA data shows US on-highway diesel at $6.529/gallon for the week of Sept 21, 2026, up 3.9% from $6.285 prior week; PADD 1 diesel rose 1.8% to $6.268. Residential natural gas hit $24.090 per thousand cubic feet in June 2026, up 22.1% from $19.730 the prior month.
Why it matters: Rising diesel ($6.529/gal, +3.9%) raises trucking/delivery costs, while natural gas up 22.1% signals higher barn-heating expenses this winter—budget accordingly.
