This article walks you through the Fuel Prices tool under the Tools tab. Use this when you need to reference current diesel or gasoline prices by region — for fuel surcharge conversations with clients or carriers, or for general market awareness.
Data source: Fuel prices are sourced from the U.S. Department of Energy / Energy Information Administration (U.S. DOE/EIA) and updated weekly. The last updated date appears in the top right of the page.
From the top nav, click Tools and select Fuel Prices.
What you see
The page has two tabs at the top — Gasoline and Diesel. Select whichever applies to your conversation. The data below updates accordingly.
