Retail fuel margins rise one cent

  • Retail fuel margins rise one cent

    OPIS reported the average retail fuel margin across the United States increased $0.01 per gallon this week to $0.192 per gallon. The  one cent gain erased the loss of last week. Average year to date retail fuel margins continued to rise, hitting a mark of $0.170 per gallon. The six week retail fuel margin average held steady at $0.173 per gallon.

    Last year on the equivalent of this date, average retail fuel margins were $0.02 cents per gallon lower, at $0.15 per gallon.

    Hopefully 2014 won’t see the dramatic retail fuel margin drops we saw in 2013, when the average retail fuel margin dropped to $0.102 per gallon over the course of the equivalent next four weeks.
