OPIS reported this week that average retail margins across the US dropped again. For the week ending April 26, average retail fuel margins were down $0.037 per gallon to $0.197 per gallon.
The drop in margins these past two weeks has slowed the growth in the year to date average margins, but at $0.173 per gallon, year to date margins are still the highest of the year. The six week average now stands at $0.215, just slightly above the Q1 average that was $0.212.
