Prices for all three were mostly steady through the first half of January but began to climb at the end of the month.

Gas, which had been up over $1.70, is now just a couple of cents more than it was New Year's Day.

With Tuesday's decreases, heating and diesel are still about 10 cents more than they were at the start of the year.
