Gas Prices Rise, Diesel Prices Fall in the Past Week

UNDATED (WJON News) -- Gas prices continued to rise in the past week which is still due to the refinery outages caused by the cold weather the week of Christmas.

While gas prices have rallied, average diesel prices continue to fall, which bodes well for the overall economy.
