Gasoline Is About To Get More Expensive

Gasoline Is About To Get More Expensive thumbnail

Here’s some bad news for drivers of luxury cars and large sport-utility vehicles who are pumping the top grade of gasoline: the premium they pay over regular fuel is getting pricier.

US and European refiners are scrambling to get enough octane to make high-quality gasoline. There are several potential reasons for the shortfall, including the fallout of Russia’s war in Ukraine, the impact of US environmental regulations and a lack of refining capacity.

The net effect is that it’s making the fuel even more expensive than usual, when compared to regular unleaded. In the US, the price gap is around 75 cents a gallon — about 15% more than during the same period last year — data from automotive group AAA show. In the UK, the premium has widened by 25% on an annual basis, the most recent monthly data show.

Octane itself is a hydrocarbon, produced in the refining of crude oil, though consumers generally know about it through the so-called octane rating for gasoline. A higher value means the fuel is more stable and less likely to cause engine knock. Vehicle manufacturers often recommend high-octane gasoline — the premium grades at the pump — to get peak performance from turbo-charged or high-compression engines.

Even regular gasoline contains octane. However, the shortfall shouldn’t be problematic because there are more low-octane components available for making regular gasoline than high-octane fuel.

The octane shortage for premium gasoline is of particular concern as refiners move away from winter-grade. That type of fuel uses butane which is generally more plentiful, from natural-gas processing to increase octane.

The European Union and the UK last month banned most seaborne imports of Russian petroleum products, reducing the region’s supply of naphtha, a key component in making gasoline. Meanwhile, the European petrochemical industry has cut supply of octane-boosting additives as high energy costs and weak demand curbed operations.

The loss of these Russian feedstocks is critical for gasoline markets this year, according to consultant Energy Aspects Ltd. Octane tightness is set to become more evident as refiners switch to the production of summer-grade fuel in April, the researcher said.

Separately, US “Tier 3” environmental regulations, which require lower sulfur content in gasoline, have created complications.

Compliance with the rules requires more severe hydrotreating of naphtha and gasoline during refining. The process destroys octane, thus contributing to a shortage and helping to widen the value of premium gasoline to regular grade.

The gasoline sulfur standard for the rules took effect in 2017. In 2020 fuel demand dropped due to pandemic-related travel restrictions. The true effects of the regulations started to become clear last year as gasoline consumption recovered, according to analysts at Bank of America Corp.

“Meeting lower sulfur requirements comes at the expense of octane levels, which likely contributed to soaring prices for high octane blending components,” they said in a recent note. “This dynamic should continue in 2023 and may lead to similar explosive upside in gasoline prices this summer.”

To be sure, there is debate on what’s behind the octane shortfall. Wide octane spreads — the price difference between wholesale prices for premium and regular-grade gasoline — were primarily driven by a shortage of refining capacity, according to Robert Auers, manager of Refined Fuels Analytics, a division of RBN Energy.

Because of the lost capacity, there aren’t enough reformer units to upgrade low-octane naphtha, to raise its octane levels for use in making premium gasoline. That may eventually change as new refinery capacity comes online this year. “Still, we have octane spreads staying moderately wide,” Auers added.

    Of course it is! TPTB want to get rid of FF cars. Not that there is a reasonable replacement. Many excuses. No reality, but FF cars will be here for decades to come. Only the insane West is pushing this propaganda BS. Fools!

    BTW: Gasoline here in the Ps has always hovered around $5/gal for the last 15 years. This is in a land where a laborer earns $10 per day. Even so, there are 1.5+ million cars on the roads here. That, in a population of about 100 million. The cities are congested just like any place else.

    When will RIGPORN cease to exist? That would be one plus for the internet.

    Duncan, your Dumbocrat Party will lose big time IF there is an election in 2024. OR…they will steal it like last time. Neither will make a difference as the US is in the shitter already, just waiting for the rest of the world outside the insane West to push the lever. Be patient.

    Personally, gasoline can go to $20+ per gallon. It would stop the waste and help clean the air, especially in the Waste…er..West.

    BTW: In 2021, almost 80 million motor vehicles were produced worldwide. Approximately 1,500,000,000 cars are on the world’s roads today.

    US has 890 per 1,000 people
    Ps has 45 per 1,000 people.

    I am not sure that it is the fear campaign that is given you all these changes in the reality. Fear campaign might help a lit bit, but I think it is the end of earth reality caused by entropic degradation that is responsible for the major changes in the reality: like new bodies forms that can be seen at Pattaya.

    I think what you are seeing is 1000 of year of entropic degradation being taken into account by the biologic life calculator of earth, therefore giving us all kinds of weirds body shapes because the accumulated entropic degradation produces enormous variations of body shape reflected, by the CGI generation.

    I am not convince that the fear campaign the major contributor to what you are seeing. You are seeing the end of earth reality because of the backward clock measured in units of entropic decay. The entropic decay is reflected even in human body shape because earth reality is old.

    I can finally collect my pay, eternal death done in a peaceful manner. I am not helping you for free. I want something in return.

    It is also possible that GOD that probably have access to all the calculator of earth has changed the entropic decay rate. This would result in an accelerate death of earth and everyone on earth. That would be a form of execution by itself by accelerating entropic decay by modifying calculator variable. This is one way it could be done to execute everyone living on earth.

    The 98 premium fuel is 10% over the 91 octane here in Oz but I use 95, which is only 5% over. Europe is a resource poor overpopulated ethnic sewer now, their days in the sun are over, their political and financial power spent.

    For 400 years they have been exploiting the planet and now it’s payback time. The immigrants from the nations they raped are pouring in and turning their cities into no-go zones, into ghettos basically.

    It’s going to be bad enough as it is with fossil fuels going off the menu, you don’t want to make it worse being stuck among 100 million hungry Africans when it happens.

    I don’t know why I am writing that. Must be a message from GOD. You can have any reality you want if you are capable of building the mathematical equation that will give coherence, like the law gravity, ore cells biology and are capable to rearranging energy into some kind of CGI visible through a certain light spectrum.

    But the earth is still backward and measure in unit of entropic degradation. This reality will die. Earthworm are already because of entropic decay of the original biological form. You will most likely see and entropic decay of the human body form that will lead to all kind of body shape, man shape on women and womam shape on man body

    I look at the meaning of number 55. I don’t everthing after all.

    Seeing angel number 55 is common for people for whom angels have messages and if you find it strange, know that you shouldn’t be worried. If you keep seeing this number, you could be in for a great opportunity.

    It’s a sign that want to inform you of a big shift in your life. It could be a change in your career, business, home, and so much more.

    Number 55 represents the energy of change, so it likely stands for a life change that will touch you in many ways. Your guardian angel is probably trying to make you understand that change or a new phase is very necessary for you to become the best version of yourself.

    I had a moment of pure inspiration while smoking a cigarettes at 3:00 AM.

    The brain is just a memory center to store info about how to move your body. How to move your arms, legs. This is what the new born babies learn. The news born babies learn were to send electrical impulse to move your body parts like arms and legs. The brain is just a memory center and the life biological calculator run by the chemical reaction inside the body. The brain is not complex enough to run the chemical reaction.

    The soul is something of pure and an high energy source. A bit a energy is stolen from the soul to run the earth reality like streets lamps. With a low birth rate you have less people and less souls to steal energy from less total energy in the system.

    SO you have to boost the energy input of earth by creating new babies. The only wayv to bring more energy into the system is by creating more babies.

    So you have to boost the procreation rate to bring more energy into the system. This is why we see more and more openness and perverted behaviors coming from women. See yoga videos on Youtube.

    You now have to factors killing earth, backward earth clock measure in units of entropic degradation and the lack of energy because of the lack of soul because of the low birth.

    You see more whorish behavior from women in order to boost up the energy level of earth.

  41. ee e ee on Tue, 21st Mar 2023 2:14 am 

    There is big holes in my theory but it is the best I can do. Could immigration in Whites nations a tentative to boost procreation rate to bring in more energy into earth reality.

    There is probably what I would call a total energy calculator of earth. The energy calculator knows exactly how many total available energy its has to run earth reality.

  42. ee e e e on Tue, 21st Mar 2023 2:21 am 

    Is the goal of woke polities is to boost birth rate by destroying morality and telling people it is fine to have sex without restraint.

  43. ee e e e on Tue, 21st Mar 2023 2:27 am 

    The soul is where the intelligence and personality of a person reside. Your brain does not determine your level of intelligence. The quality of the soul determine your personality.

    The earth is welcoming any kind of trashy souls in order to boost the energy level. I still think earth is an execution chamber for trashy souls. When you die, your energy is depleted and your souls is death. There you have it, earth is execution chamber to clean GOD of bad souls.

  44. ee e on Tue, 21st Mar 2023 2:34 am 

    There is no way that there is enought enrgy in food to run all the chemical reaction in the body.

    The soul is the energy source to run the human body.

    You soul is being executed by draining its energy by using the human body as consumer of energy.

    I think that might well be the whole explanation of the creation of the earth.

  45. ee e e on Tue, 21st Mar 2023 2:37 am 

    If you have a human body, mostly like you are here to be executed and kill. There might be some exception like me but they are really rare.

    Expect a big demographic decline coming ahead and all of kind distortions caused by entropic degradation and the lack of energy to run earth reality

  46. e e ee on Tue, 21st Mar 2023 2:44 am 

    The goal of a fear campaign, will be to stress the human body and accelerate the energy drain of the soul, therefore killing the soul faster.

  47. ere e on Tue, 21st Mar 2023 2:51 am 

    This would explain why you see people on YouTube that don’t seem to have an human body. It is because their soul is almost depleted of energy and they are about to die.

  48. eee e on Tue, 21st Mar 2023 2:54 am 

    My theory would explain, I think, a lot of what we see happening on earth right now.

  49. ee e e on Tue, 21st Mar 2023 2:57 am 

    My theory would even explain this bible lines:

    For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against
    powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual
    wickedness in high places. Ephes 6: 12

  50. eeee on Tue, 21st Mar 2023 3:08 am 

    Look at his body shape. His soul is almost depleted of energy add to this the degradation entropic caused by the backward clock.
