Retail fuel margins lower

  • Retail fuel margins lower

    The OPIS report today revealed the average retail fuel margin across the US dropped again this week, down $0.027 to $0.214 per gallon. The equivalent day in 2013 we had an average of $0.255. That makes the second consecutive week where retail fuel margins are lower than last year.

    The year to date average is a solid $0.190 per gallon, and the six week average is $0.222 per gallon. The Q4 average in 2013 ended at $0.200 per gallon, so we’re starting the quarter above that number. However, 2013 began the fourth quarter at $0.255 so it lost $0.05 over the three month period. Let’s hope we can hold margins steady this year.
