Oregon Fuel Price Variance
Fuel Market News
Diesel prices are down significantly and gas prices have hovered around the same price range for the wholesale rack average market. These prices have had little impact at the street pump price level so drivers are not seeing as much of a difference as distributors. Diesel prices have dropped over $0.20/gal since the beginning of August while gas prices have hovered around the $3.90/$4.00 range. Gas prices should remain around this level in coming weeks with a slight uptick in late September when the winter blend of fuel begins to hit the market and then a further downtick in gas prices both wholesale and retail. Drivers can expect to see lower gas prices October 1st than today. The summer was a very mild one for hurricanes as the South experience next to no distributions in production due to natural disasters. This could change this week with Hurricane Erin reaching a category 4 and headed to the east coast and Florida region.
Important Note: Per the City Of Portland, “Distributors in the City of Portland are required to meet the minimum biofuel content requirements for all fuel they distribute beginning on May 15, 2024. All diesel fuel distributed to retail stations, non-retail dealers, or wholesale purchaser-consumers must include a minimum of 15% biofuel content, from either renewable diesel or biodiesel. This requirement increases to 50% on May 15, 2026, and 99% on May 15, 2030”.
Crude oil is trading below $70, at a current price of $63.34/barrel. This is $1.80/barrel lower than it was last week.
Crude oil is the main ingredient for gasoline and diesel. Per AAA, on average about 50% of what you pay at the pump is the price of crude oil, breaking down as 25% refining, 11% distribution & marketing, and 14% taxes—a helpful breakdown for consumers wondering why they are paying the prices that they pay. Crude Oil is currently trading at $63.34/barrel compared to $65.14/barrel last week and $69 a year ago.
