Fuel Market Report June 8th to June 14th, 2025

Fuel Market News

Fuel prices are up across the board this past week following heightened tensions in the Middle East. Crude oil jumped $4/barrel on 06/13 following Israel’s bomb strikes on Iran’s nuclear facilities. This ongoing conflict has led to significant pricing fluctuations on crude oil, while also leaving many uncertain about what is next and how Iran will respond. Rack averages in Portland jumped $0.13/gal on gasoline, $0.11/gal on B5 diesel, $0.13/gal on B20 diesel, & $0.10/gal on R99 Renewable diesel. These price jumps come as no surprise after the significant jump in crude oil prices over the last week. We are entering the busy summer traveling season, which means more cars on the road and more people traveling over weekends. Expect both gas and diesel prices to remain near their current price levels as summer fuel prices are always a bit higher than the rest of the year.

Oregonians may be in store for higher diesel prices this year with the end of Blenders Tax Credits, the introduction of the Producers Tax Credit & the Oregon Climate Protection Program going into 2025. For more on this report, visit the link below.

Do you need Refrigerated Trailer fuel? We fuel reefers automatically.

Refrigerated Trailer Fueling Service.

Dyed Diesel delivered to your trailer.

Need to keep your refrigerated trailer running during the summer heat in the Pacific Northwest? When temperatures rise, having a reliable reefer trailer is more important than ever to protect your inventory. That’s where Star Oilco comes in. Our team provides fast, dependable refrigerated trailer fuel delivery in Portland, Salem, Vancouver, and nearby areas. We’ll keep your cold storage trailers fueled and your goods safe, so you can focus on your business, not the weather.

Keep your refrigerated trailer running with our automatic keep full program.

Reefer trailer fuel service

Refrigerated trailers, often also called “reefers” in trucking.  These are popular in grocers, food processors, and many other industries. Reefers expand refrigerated inventory for grocers during the food rush of the holidays, and Star Oilco is ready to keep your inventory cold.

Star Oilco is the Portland area’s leading refueler of refrigerated trailers. We’re ready to help you expand your on hand inventory by supplying dyed diesel for your refrigerated trucks. We have the industry’s lowest price for service, a flat fee of $65 for service on an automatic keep full schedule. We’ll keep your inventory the right temperature this holiday season! Our trucks are ready and on the road driving past your location. This program is designed specifically in response to grocers and food processors needing a partner to simplify their refrigeration needs during their busiest time of year.

We make it one less thing to worry about.

How often should you fuel your refrigeration trailer?

Reefer Trailers typically can run for two days without a refuel if opened only once or twice a day.  Three days if you go a weekend without opening the trailer if fueled on Friday.  If you have staff leaving the door open regularly expect to need fuel daily.

Refrigerated trailer fueling. Keep full program.

Call for service. The first step is to open an account or run the service on a credit card, fleet card, or other payment method used by your business. 

Star Oilco can provide either Ultra Low Sulfer B5 Diesel, or low CO2 R99 Renewable Diesel to your reefer. All fuels are dyed and for off-road use to avoid the expensive taxes associated with using clear diesel from a gas station pump. All of our dyed diesel is treated with Hydrotex PowerKleen Premium Diesel. This additive guarantees long-term storage stability and improves performance at time of combustion.

A refrigerated trailer typically burns between 10 and 15 gallons a day in the Portland area during the winter. In our experience, fuel burns faster if the door is continually opened. Some customers are able to get by with service twice a week. Given this experience, we usually recommend a refill schedule of three days a week. This ensures you have no downtime or worry with the refrigerated trailer.

Customers on automatic keep full schedule receive emergency response services for fuel theft at no additional charge. We will be there for you to make running your business that much easier.

Also remember if you are storing a trailer onsite for back up or overflow purposes you will want to prepare the fuel in the tank for long term storage. Star Oilco’s fuel additives ensure the storage and make sure your refrigerated trailer fires when you need it to.

To set up Refrigerated Trailer Refueling Service call or email our office.

We are ready to keep you full.

Fuel Market Report June 2nd to June 8th, 2025

Fuel Market News

Diesel prices are up and gas is down slightly this past week, as fuel prices experience another week of mixed volatilityAs we roll into June and the summer driving season, we can expect demand to stay high while supply may decline. Crude oil is trading just about $65 at a current price of $65.36/barrel on WTI Crude. The EU and the Trump administration are planning to impose new sanctions on Russia, including a $45/barrel price cap on Russian Oil, targeting the shadow oil fleet, LNG projects, and energy industry firms. These sanctions, along with production announcements from OPEC+, may lead to a much different Crude supply within the market. Some analysts are predicting $50/barrel Crude this year.

Current average fuel prices for regular, mid-grade, premium gasoline, and diesel in April 2025.

Fuel Market News

This past week, fuel prices experienced a downward trend as prices are lower across the board. Rack averages in Portland dropped $0.15/gal on gasoline, $0.07/gal for B5 & B20 diesel, and $0.10/gal for R99 Renewable Diesel. Oil prices have dived and are hovering around $60 per barrel in response to the global economic concerns and tariffs between nations. The market is signaling that prices will remain stable today and may drop later into the week after prices jumped significantly last week. OPEC+ has vowed to offset the overproduction by June of next year. This signals the surplus of crude oil in the market currently.
