US diesel prices hover near record highs as a global refinery shortage persists. Here's why pump prices may stay high even if oil tumbles after Hormuz reopens.

Par Pacific Holdings is strengthening its retail segment through expanded merchandise and food service offerings to build a more stable earnings base alongside its cyclical refining business. Despite a 0.8% decline in same-store fuel volumes in Q2 2026, in-store sales rose 1% and retail adjusted EBITDA improved to $17 million. The company's retail segment generated $40.7 million in adjusted gross margin, demonstrating the value of diversification. Similar strategies are being pursued by competitors HF Sinclair and Phillips 66.
