Regulatory constraints are set to drive volatility in the gasoline market over the next 12 to 24 months.
Washington, DC (PRWEB) March 20, 2013
Gasoline prices are likely to experience volatility going into the summer driving season as regulatory constraints prevent the market from adequately adjusting to supply imbalances and discourage supplies from entering the U.S. market, according to a new report from the Energy Policy Research Foundation, Inc. (EPRINC) released on March 15. The report examines the cause of the recent New York Harbor - Gulf Coast gasoline spread, which cost East Coast drivers between $1.5 billion and $3 billion over a six month period. It also looks at potential sources of market turbulence going forward, such as the Jones Act and Renewable Fuels Standard.The full report, entitled "Get Ready for a Bumpy Ride - It Could be a Turbulent Year for Gasoline Prices" is available for download free of charge at http://www.eprinc.org.
EPRINC's report finds that, "A combination of economic and infrastructure issues culminated in the record NYH - GC spread, but regulatory constraints prevented the spread from being addressed earlier...the spread currently sits at a more ?normal? level of about $0.05 per gallon. However, it is far from certain that this calm will persist given the upcoming summer driving season, the tenuous supply situation in the Atlantic Basin (U.S. East Coast and Europe), and several regulatory hurdles which are emerging as serious barriers to the supply of refined products in the United States."
