Why Gas Prices Ignore Falling Oil Prices

Gasoline prices are stuck near four dollars a gallon even as crude oil slides. In this episode of Energy Economics, Lucas and Luna dig into the refining margins behind the gap, from the Gulf Coast glut to the global diesel squeeze. They explain why refiners are banking record profits while drivers feel the pinch, and what the spread between WTI and Brent says about the market. If you've ever wondered why the pump price doesn't move with the headlines, this episode connects the dots with real numbers, including a look at the recent 2.5 percent weekly jump in crude and the 4.05 average for regular gasoline. Plus, a candid note on how listener support keeps the show ad-free. #EnergyEconomics #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #OilPrices #GasolinePrices #RefiningMargins #CrudeOil #WTI #Brent #Diesel #SupplyChain #Economics #EnergyMarkets #ConsumerPrices #Inflation #Refiners #GulfCoast #GlobalOil Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
