Diesel prices continue to fall

Dec 27, 2012

Diesel fuel continues its downward track in price, falling for the ninth time in 10 weeks.

The Department of Energy said Thursday the average price per gallon of diesel dropped 2.2 cents to settle at $3.923. The recent rash of downturns leaves trucking’s primary fuel nearly 23 cents per gallon below the $4.15 mark set Oct. 15 – a four year high.

The current price of diesel is, however, more than 13 cents per gallon higher than the same week last year.

CARB to allow ZEV credit transfers across states, classes

CARB will allow OEMs to use credits earned for light-, medium-duty ZEV sales to offset Class 7-8 deficits; also will enable ‘pooling’ of credits across opt-in states, among other changes.

If finalized, this proposal would remove all greenhouse gas standards for light-, medium- and heavy-duty vehicles and heavy-duty engines, starting with EPA’s first greenhouse gas regulations set in 2010 for light-duty vehicles and those set in 2011 for medium-duty vehicles and heavy-duty vehicles and engines – which includes off-cycle credits like the much hated start-stop feature on most new cars.
