US on-highway diesel price intelligence (weekly)
Weekly US on-highway diesel price intelligence from the U.S. Energy Information Administration's Petroleum Navigator (keyless XLS downloads): the national average, 5 PADD regions and California (the complete EIA weekly diesel geography), weekly retail prices in dollars per gallon (Monday reference weeks, 1994 -> present for national/PADDs, 1995 -> present for California). Per entity x week: price, deviation from the national average in cents and percent, week-over-week, 4-week and 52-week momentum, a documented 0-100 freight-cost pressure score with per-week ranks, premium/discount/spike/drop/52-week-record flags, and the week-level PADD price spread. The freight-cost complement to the gasoline dispersion panel: diesel moves delivery economics while gasoline moves consumer pump budgets. EIA content is U.S. federal public domain (commercial reuse allowed); source: U.S. Energy Information Administration.

| Column | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| week | string | Reference week: the Monday of the EIA weekly reference week, ISO date. (unit: ISO date (Monday)) |
| country_code | string | ISO alpha-3 country code (USA for every row). (unit: ISO 3166-1 alpha-3) |
| entity_code | string | Stable entity key: CA for California (the only state with an EIA weekly diesel series), PADD1..PADD5 for the Petroleum Administration for Defense Districts, or NUS for the U.S. national average. Primary join key with week. (unit: code) |
| entity_label | string | Human-readable entity name (California, PADD region name, or 'United States'). |
| entity_type | string | Entity kind: state, padd (PADD region), or national. (unit: categorical) |
| price_usd_per_gal | float | Weekly on-highway diesel retail price as published by EIA. Null only where upstream publishes no value (never zero-filled). (unit: USD per gallon) |
| national_price_usd_per_gal | float | The U.S. national average price for the same week: the reference for all deviation columns. (unit: USD per gallon) |
| deviation_cents | float | Entity price minus the national price that week, in cents per gallon. 0.0 on the national row. (unit: cents per gallon) |
| deviation_pct | float | Entity price minus the national price as a percent of the national price. 0.0 on the national row. (unit: percent) |
| wow_pct | float | Week-over-week percent change in price. (unit: percent) |
| momentum_4w_pct | float | 4-week percent change in price. (unit: percent) |
| yoy_pct | float | 52-week percent change in price. Null for the first 52 weeks of each entity (warm-up). (unit: percent) |
| freight_cost_pressure_score | float | Documented 0-100 composite: 100 * (0.65 * min-max of deviation_cents clipped to [-150, +150] + 0.35 * min-max of wow_pct clipped to [-6, +6]). The deviation cap is wider than the gasoline panel's ±80c because diesel regional premiums run structurally wider. High = expensive vs the nation and rising: the freight-cost pressure gauge. (unit: 0-100 score) |
| pressure_rank | integer | Per-week dense rank of freight_cost_pressure_score across the 7 entities, 1 = highest pressure. (unit: rank) |
| premium_flag | integer | 1 when deviation_cents exceeds +40 (entity priced more than 40c/gal above the nation). (unit: binary) |
| discount_flag | integer | 1 when deviation_cents is below -40 (entity priced more than 40c/gal below the nation). (unit: binary) |
| spike_flag | float | 1 when wow_pct exceeds +5 (weekly price spike). (unit: binary) |
| drop_flag | float | 1 when wow_pct is below -5 (weekly price drop). (unit: binary) |
| record_52w_flag | float | 1 when the price equals the trailing-52-week maximum (inclusive). Null until 52 weeks of history exist or where the price is null. (unit: binary) |
| padd_spread_cents | float | Week-level attribute (repeated on every row): the max-minus-min price across the 5 PADD entities that week, in cents — the regional dispersion gauge. (unit: cents per gallon) |
| as_of | string | Latest reference week in the fetched panel (YYYY-MM-DD); identical across rows and across runs on the same vintage. (unit: ISO date) |
| source_series | string | Stable public EIA series code (e.g. EMD_EPD2D_PTE_SCA_DPG) the row was parsed from. (unit: code) |
| row_hash | string | Deterministic 16-hex row id: sha256('DIESEL|<entity_code>|<week>'). (unit: hash) |
First 10 sample rows — a preview, not the complete dataset.
