Re: Request for Acceleration of Effectiveness of Registration Statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-200148)
(the “Registration Statement”) of Sprague Resources LP (the “Registrant”)

Ladies and Gentlemen:

Pursuant to Rule 461 of the rules and regulations promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the Registrant hereby requests that the effectiveness of the above captioned Registration Statement be accelerated so that the Registration Statement will become effective on Thursday, April 23, 2014 at 4:30 p.m., New York Time, or as soon thereafter as practicable. As requested by the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”), the Registrant hereby acknowledges that:

 

    should the Commission or the staff, acting pursuant to delegated authority, declare the filing effective, it does not foreclose the Commission from taking any action with respect to the filing;

 

    the action of the Commission or the staff, acting pursuant to delegated authority, in declaring the filing effective, does not relieve the Registrant from its full responsibility for the adequacy and accuracy of the disclosure in the filing; and

 

    the Registrant may not assert staff comments and the declaration of effectiveness as a defense in any proceeding initiated by the Commission or any person under the federal securities laws of the United States.

Should the Commission have any questions or comments, please contact the undersigned at (800) 225-1560 or Adorys Velazquez of Vinson & Elkins L.L.P. at (212) 237-0000 with any questions regarding this matter.
