Gasoline crunch brings big gas stations, fuel margins into investor view
Investors tracking crude could miss what’s happening in fuels. Gasoline supply, retail margin, and store visits matter too. Russia is rationing after its refineries were hit. U.S. travel centers want people to use the pump as a way into buying food, coffee and other high-margin items. AAA reported regular gas at $3.81 a gallon Saturday. That’s down from $4.24 last month, but more than the $3.15 seen a year ago. Diesel at $4.80.
