Fuel Market News
Fuel prices trickled down this week with both gas and diesel prices dropping. Although the drops were very marginal, with gas prices down $0.02/gal and diesel prices down less than $0.05/gal. Rack averages in Portland saw a steeper drop-off while retail street prices hardly budged. Fuel prices should remain steady in the coming weeks as political climates in the Middle East have toned down and hurricane season has been very quiet for the southern states. Historically, fuel prices have been higher around this time of year with summer travel and increased demand for fuel. Yet surprisingly, fuel prices were at the exact same level in Portland a year ago today. Iran has agreed to new nuclear talks amid the tensions in the Middle East. On July 22nd Britan, France, Germany and Iran will hold talks to re-engage this discussion.
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”.
