Driving Discussions: El Paso’s New Role in US Fuel Pricing

As North American fuel flows shift, El Paso is becoming a more important pricing point for gasoline and diesel moving across the Southwest. In this episode, Amanda Hilow (Distillates Editor, US Products) and Jared Ainsworth (Gasoline Editor) discuss the launch of Argus’ new El Paso assessments, including Argus ULSD fob El Paso and four new gasoline assessments covering regular and premium CBOB.  The conversation looks at why El Paso’s role is growing as Gulf Coast supply moves west, California refinery capacity tightens, Arizona seeks more secure inland routes and Mexico remains a major outlet for US gasoline exports.
