🚨 HEATING OIL EASES — BUT COSTS REMAIN NEAR RECORD LEVELS
Maine heating oil prices pulled back slightly from a record high, but household fuel costs remain dramatically above last year.
🔑 Key Points:
• Maine average heating oil: $5.96/gallon
• Previous record: $6.02/gallon
• Weekly decline: 6 cents
• Typical home tank costs roughly $725 more than a year ago
• Refining and refined-fuel supply remain key market concerns
📊 Market Insight:
The small weekly decline does little to change the broader picture: elevated diesel and heating-oil prices continue to pressure household energy costs.
The bigger market question is whether improved crude flows can translate into more stable supplies of refined fuels.
