Benchmark diesel price up as market takes a short breather

The day also featured the release of the weekly benchmark diesel price from the Department of Energy/Energy Information Administration that is used for most fuel surcharges. After a big one-day increase last week in the price of ultra low sulfur diesel traded on the CME commodity exchange, the DOE/EIA price followed suit, rising 9. 7 cents/gallon this week to $6. 276/g.
