What will be the price of diesel fuel on Sunday July 5, 2009?

Settled as 2.620 to 2.639

Price of diesel as released early Sunday morning was $2.623, down .003 from Saturday

Background:

Background: Diesel fuel has climbed over $2.50 recently, but, compared to its high of $4.845 less than a year ago, still seems relatively cheap. Diesel fuel has a direct impact on the CPI, since it affects the price of everything you buy, most of which arrives by truck. At the same time, it reflects commercial activity and consumer spending (or the lack of it). You buy it, they have to ship it. You don't buy, trucks sit idle, diesel demand goes down and with it the price. On Sunday June 28, 2009, the average price in the USA was $2.631, virtually unchanged from a week earlier but still up 27.5 cents in the last month. Gasoline prices have gone up a lot the last few of weeks with regular gas recently exceeding the price of diesel for the first time in years. Both have leveled off for now, but will it last?
The question is: How much will a gallon of the diesel fuel cost on Sunday July 5, 2009 in the USA, as reported by AAA fuelgaugereport? The price is updated daily in the early morning hours.

Settlement details:As reported by the AAA: http://www.fuelgaugereport.com on July 5, 2009.
