    • New tracker. Started with three metrics: US on-highway diesel, national average; California on-highway diesel; Gulf Coast on-highway diesel. Weekly values back to 10 November 2025 added as backfill.

Why we track this

Added from the tracker list. FreightWaves describes the EIA weekly average retail diesel price as the basis for most fuel surcharges. A fuel surcharge tied to that average changes when the average changes, which affects the fuel cost in a forwarder's drayage and over-the-road trucking quotes.
