Japanese translation:遅くとも直近1歴四半期までの平均値
Explanation:
over maximum ではなく、average over / maximum the last quarter...と読めます（このEUの原文はかなりの悪文ではありましょうが）よってmaximum は平均を算出する時期のmaximumで、平均を計算する対象である燃料の価格のmaximumではないと読めます。下記web referenceから他の言語（西語など）も参照できるので比較すると、maximumが期間のmaximumであることがわかると思います。

average over A,B,C で「A,B,Cの平均」、average over all samples で「全標本の平均」と訳せます。
