Retail fuel margins drop for fifth consecutive week
Today’s OPIS report showed retail fuel margins dropped yet again this week. That extends the losing streak to five weeks. Retail fuel margins across the US now stand at $0.123 per gallon, down $0.021 per gallon from last week. Average retail fuel margins have lost a total of $0.145 per gallon since the streak began.
Retail fuel margins are at February levels for the second week in a row. Average retail margins year to date are now at $0.169 per gallon. Quarter to date average retail margins are at $0.186 per gallon.
These are tough times for the c-store fuel managers, especially when they are managing the balance between volumes and margins without fuel software to manage their fuel price management strategies. Every penny, every hour, matters at this point, and investing in a fuel management system is the only way to make the most of the difficult times.
