Retail fuel margins show slight increase

  • Retail fuel margins show slight increase

    According to the latest OPIS report, the average retail fuel margin across the US rose $0.01 per gallon this week to $0.155 per gallon. That’s the second consecutive margin increase returning the average back to levels last seen one month ago.

    The year to date average is $0.153 and the quarter to date average is $0.140 per gallon. The six week average is $0.145.

    The current average retail margin is now $0.007 less than this week last year. The weekly fuel margin in 2014 has been below 2013 every week since February 28. The gap between this year’s and last year’s margins is now the smallest since that week.

    We look forward to the margin trend line of 2014 crossing above the 2013 trend line next week.
