Rack averages in Portland increased $0.11/gal on gas, $0.08/gal on B5 diesel, $0.07/gal on B20 diesel and $0.19/gal on R99 diesel. Crude oil is also up $2.52 from the week previous.

This switch has been underway across the PNW for the past two weeks with California leading the charge.

2025 Fuel Market Outlook: Oregon

Prices jumped across the board this past week. Rack averages in Portland jumped $0.13/gal on E10 and $0.10/gal on diesel. This comes as a surprise as crude oil prices have remained below $70/barrel. Although it is the season when prices typically begin to rise due to a mix of the summer blends of fuel coming back to the market, the refinery maintenance required to make this switch, and the higher price to produce summer blends of fuel. Prices at the pump may continue to hover in the $3.90 – $4.10/gal range in the weeks ahead.

Price variances were minimal this past week. Rack averages in Portland dropped $0.14/gal for gas while diesel (B5 & B20) closed the week at the same price as they did last week. Prices have been fairly low given the constant fluctuation with the new administration and tariffs being announced then delayed again. Oil prices are lower than they were two months ago, which has Oil CEOs in serious turmoil in attempts to help their profits with current oil pricing. President Trump is set to meet with Oil CEOs later this week to discuss market stability.

2025 Fuel Market Outlook: Oregon

Fuel prices dropped across the board this past week with both gas and diesel down in price from the weeks previous. Portland rack averages dropped $0.06/gal for gas,  $0.13/gal for B5 diesel and $0.04/gal for B20 diesel. Crude oil prices dropped below $67/barrel this week which contributed to the reduced fuel prices across the US. Although these price dips may not last long with President Trump’s 10% tariff on Canadian energy (not included in the USMCA) we will likely see higher energy cots in the Northeast states.

President Trump once again delayed his tariffs on Mexico and Canada creating further confusion within the market. This delay will last till April 2nd, Mexico & Canada will not receive tariffs on anything under the USMCA agreement. The constant back and forth over tariffs in the last 3 weeks has created a great deal of uncertainty in the US stock market with the Fear and Greed Index reaching far to the left of the scale with a score of 15 representing extreme fear within the market. Time will tell how the market responds over the next few weeks as more comes out of the Trump administration.

2025 Fuel Market Outlook: Oregon

It was an interesting week for price variances to close out February, as B5 and E10 prices fell, and B20 prices jumped. Portland rack averages jumped $0.09/gal for B20 while falling $0.03/gal for B5 and 0.06/gal for E10. This is the time of year we normally see prices experience upward fluctuation as refineries begin seasonal maintenance while switching from winter to summer fuel. With all of this in play, oil prices have remained relatively low for the past 3 weeks which has kept price jumps lower than expected.

President Trump’s tariffs on Canada & Mexico will take place on Tuesday, which has many analysts preparing for the unknown impacts they will carry. Uncertainty has seemingly been a theme for the first 90 days of Trump’s second Presidency as many markets are bracing for what could come next. Such uncertainties have trickled into the marine transportation industry as vessel owners are weary of entering long-term charter deals for oil tankers.
