Typically, the fuel doesn’t go far from the distribution point, generally within a 100-mile radius, he said.
"It’s pretty localized on how far your distribution will be because the farther a transport truck … goes the more cost it adds to it,” the spokesperson said.
Fuel comes in from various sources, such as Europe, the Gulf Coast or Philadelphia, where there’s a refinery.
The Port of Wilmington itself does not receive any petroleum products, said Amy Passaretti, spokeswoman for N.C. Ports, in an email.
The business at the port also remains steady. "As of now, we have not experienced any trucking or supply issues," Passaretti said.
Gas prices are still expected to continue to rise into the Memorial Day weekend, as demand increases, Wright said.
