Oregon Fuel Price Variance
Fuel Market News
Fuel prices jumped this past week, with both gas and diesel seeing an uptick. There was a $0.20/gal increase between the 3rd and the 12th, marking the biggest price per gal increase in just over a week within the last few months. Markets have responded positively to optimism from early U.S. & China trade negotiations, with oil prices surging over $3/barrel in the last week and the Dow up 3.44% in the last 5 days. Although this optimism may not last long with inflation reports due May 13th.
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.
