With the price of crude oil in retreat and autogas falling below $2 a gallon in many parts of the U.S. for the first time in years, motorists have been cheering at the gasoline pump for the past several weeks. The retail price of jet-A has come down too, but perhaps not as quickly as end users would wish. “Consumers like it, especially at the gas pump with the car,” said one industry executive, “but it’s difficult for wholesalers and retailers trying to keep their costs in check while still having to market the product in this environment; prices differ widely, determined by when they bought their inventory.”
