Why do gas prices increase in the spring? Here is the summary for dummies: Gas prices usually go up in the spring because of something called RVP, which is how easily gas evaporates. In the summer, the government wants gas to evaporate less so it doesn't pollute the air as much. Making this kind of gas costs more, so prices go up. Here's how it works: - Gas is like a cake: It's made with different ingredients. Some cheap ingredients that work well in winter make gas evaporate too easily for summer. - Summer gas is more expensive: Companies have to use pricier ingredients to meet the government's rules for summer gas. The change happens in stages: First, big companies that sell lots of gas start using the summer kind. Then, the places where gas stations get their gas switch over. Finally, your local gas station starts selling summer gas. By summer, all gas in the US has to have an RVP of 9 or less. Some places, like Reno, Nevada, and Detroit, Michigan, have even stricter rules. So, while there are other reasons why gas prices change, this switch to summer gas is a big one that happens every year. #RVP #fuel #price #Summer https://lnkd.in/gXjNnCJp

Why is fuel pricing so complex? It comes down to the fuel value chain of influence across the NYMEX (Basis), Spot Market, Racks (terminals) and Retail (gas stations). Typically, prices follow the NYMEX, but things get much more complicated, with seasonal influences, refinery markets, pipeline and terminal outages and retail demand spikes. When it comes to fuel pricing at the rack, you need to be supported by the best possible software to provide the right data at the right time, drive automation and continually question the status quo. #gravitate #pricingengine #rack #fuel #branded #unbranded #contractmanagement
