Oregon Fuel Price Variance
Fuel Market News
Fuel prices trickled up this week, with street retail prices dropping slightly and rack averages going up about $0.05/gal. Portland rack averages for gas jumped $0.07/gal, while B5, B20 & R99 diesel averages moved up less than $0.03/gal. AAA analysts predict prices at the pump will continue to fall as tensions calm in the Middle East and no hurricanes are expected to hit the Golf Coast in the coming weeks. According to the EIA, “Gasoline production dipped last week, averaging 9.6 million barrels per day, compared to 10.1 million barrels the previous week”. Although this dip may not seem extreme, it is surprising coming off a record-setting 4th of July with traveling trends reaching all-time highs. With inventories relatively steady, we should see prices at the pump hover around their current price with some slight dips into August.
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.
2025 Fuel Market Outlook: Oregon
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 just below $70, at a current price of $66.61/barrel. This is $1.39/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 $66.61/barrel compared to $68.00/barrel last week and $70 a year ago.
