Average US spread between premium and unleaded is $0.30 per gallon
In another blog article, I wrote about how savvy fuel pricing analysts are optimizing fuel prices and margins by focusing on the other grades besides Unleaded Regular. In a recent Today in Energy article, the US EIA revealed that average pricing spreads between Premium and Unleaded is at an all-time high of $.30 per gallon, first reached at the end of 2012, and maintained so far in 2013.
That may seem startling to the long-time fuel analyst, but when viewed from a percentage of price standpoint, the spread has remained at relatively the same levels since mid-2009. From a fuel price management standpoint, that means if you’re used to maintaining the standard $.20 spread between Premium and Unleaded Regular from years ago, it may be time to revisit your fuel pricing spread strategies and come up to the averages seen across the country.
