Diesel: Rockford dropped two cents today to $4.81, more than five cents below the record set in May. We have the third-highest diesel prices in the state. The state average increased almost a cent to a record $4.83 a gallon. The national average increased almost a cent to a record $4.81 a gallon. Illinois is tied with the 18th-highest prices in the country (including the District of Columbia).
