Updated Dec 5, 2012

After a brief interruption last week to the downward trend diesel prices had been experiencing in recent weeks, the national average diesel price has nearly stagnated, dropping just seven-tenths of a cent to $4.027 a gallon during the week ended Dec. 3, according to the Department of Energy.

The price is still 9.6 cents above the same week in 2011.
