The cost of diesel fuel in the United States reached an annual average of 3.76 U.S. dollars per gallon in 2024. This was a decrease compared to the previous year, when diesel sold for an average of 4.21 U.S. dollars per gallon. In 2022, increased economic activity and thus fuel demand combined with supply constraints following the Russia-Ukraine war, which resulted in a notable rise in monthly diesel prices Crude oil prices and their impact on motor fuel prices Motor fuel prices largely mirror major oil benchmarks, such as the OPEC reference basket, WTI, and Brent. As such, the oil glut in 2015 and 2016, which followed years of increased oil production output by the U.S., is largely responsible for the fall in diesel prices seen in those years. The same is true for the 2020 pandemic-induced oil crisis and fall in benchmarks that year. Diesel and gasoline price development The usage of diesel began in the 1930s, but until further development in the 1960s, diesel vehicles were mostly used commercially. In the U.S., diesel-powered cars remain a fairly small portion of the automobile market and diesel fuel consumption is far lower than gasoline consumption. In general, gasoline also tends to be more widely available than diesel fuel and usually sells for a lower retail price. However, diesel engines have better fuel economy than gasoline engines, and as such are often used for large commercial vehicles.

In 2023, renewable diesel production in the United States was *** billion liters. This was a notable increase compared to the previous year.

U.S. consumption of diesel fuel amounted to a four-week rolling average of around 3.46 million barrels per day in the first week of June 2025. In the period of consideration, diesel consumption in the country reached its peak in February 2022.

Petroleum refiners have experienced volatile conditions in recent years since crude oil is the primary input cost for refiners in the United States. Crude oil is a highly volatile commodity as a result of its sensitivity to microeconomic and macroeconomic factors, including volatile production, demand and the health of global economies. As petroleum refiners pass these prices to customers, industry returns see similar volatility. With an uptick in crude oil prices through 2025, industry revenue has pushed up at a CAGR of 16.5% to an estimated $821.8 billion, including a 3.3% dip in 2025 alone. The period started slow, as the pandemic weakened global productivity, cutting down the need for petroleum-based products like fuel. As the economy recovered, so did prices, allowing refineries to exhibit double-digit growth in 2021 and 2022. As prices came down, revenue eventually fell slightly. Nonetheless, these volatile conditions caused some companies to exit the industry. High barriers also discouraged new entrants, so most of the period was marked by expanding existing facilities rather than building new ones. This results in a high concentration of refineries, predominantly located along the Gulf Coast in Texas, Louisiana and California. Unlike standalone refiners, large integrated companies manage crude oil reserves to mitigate price volatility, maintaining stable profitability despite oil price fluctuations. Petroleum refiners face long-term challenges from the transition to green energy, driven by more investment in renewables and electric vehicle infrastructure from the Inflation Reduction Act. As the need for motor gasoline falls with the rise of electric cars, refineries may shift towards carbon capture technologies and chemical production to remain viable. While many refineries have closed recently, some may convert to renewable fuel facilities, as seen in Marathon's partnership with Nestle. Despite these challenges, the US remains a global leader in oil production, so refineries will still exhibit slight growth moving forward. Overall, revenue is set to push up at a CAGR of 0.5% through 2030, reaching $844.0 billion in 2030.
