According to Matt Muenster, chief economist at Breakthrough, the expectation is that commercial transportation energy costs will remain high relative to the pre-pandemic experience from 2015-2019. Given the current state of supply in the market and understanding that market rebalancing will be slow, diesel prices are likely to remain high and volatile through 2023. Breakthrough is forecasting U.S. wholesale diesel prices to remain closer to $4 per gallon versus $3 per gallon which represented the diesel price ceiling from 2015 to 2019. The spread between wholesale- what well-managed carriers pay, plus or minus a point or two-and retail- what the DOE Index is based on-is at $1.11 per gallon as of November 30. |
