Retail fuel margins rebound this week

  • Retail fuel margins rebound this week

    OPIS reported that the average retail fuel margin across the US improved $0.03 per gallon this week. The national US average retail fuel margin now stands at $0.221 per gallon, the highest margin since November 15. The year to date average retail fuel margin is at $0.191 per gallon, the Q4 average is $0.205 per gallon, and the six week average is $0.186 per gallon.

    The average retail fuel margin this week is slightly less than this time last year, when the average was $0.247. Last year the average retail fuel margin dropped $0.115 per gallon the week of December 28. Unless some unforeseen circumstances should occur, it’s unlikely we’ll see a drop like that again this year.
