I don't think fuel sales got back to anywhere near normal levels, even after L1. They were depressed all year, apart from Jan/Feb. I suspect any earlier price reductions were from the base oil price dropping, not from retailers reducing their already slim margins. So unless the producers drop prices again there isn't room for pump reductions.
