US diesel prices dip below $6 a gallon for first time in two months

Average US diesel prices have fallen beneath the $6-per-gallon mark for the first time since two months ago. The drop follows a record high reached in September, which was driven by worldwide supply disruptions. Consumers, businesses, and farmers, who had recently absorbed higher fuel costs, are seeing some relief from the decline. Gasoline has also become cheaper, slipping below $4 per gallon this month. Together, the two fuel price drops ease pressure on household and industry budgets.
