In September, gasoline’s price premium vs crude fell further from the series high reached in July as the summer driving season ended, and U.S. refiners—under pressure from the President—kept capacity utilization near 100%. Still, U.S. gasoline inventories remain 7% below their five-year seasonal mean, keeping the premium high.
