Why Gasoline Stays High While Crude Oil Falls

Lucas and Luna unpack the persistent gap between falling crude prices and stubbornly high gasoline costs. With WTI down to 84 dollars after a 12 percent crash and Brent near 92, pump prices have actually ticked up to 4.10 a gallon. They walk through the refining bottleneck, the summer driving season, and the regional quirks that keep the spread wide. Why do stations pass on drops slowly but raise prices fast? What role do boutique fuel blends and the Jones Act play? And how much of that 4.10 is actually crude, versus taxes, refining, and distribution? Tune in for a grounded look at what the wholesale-to-retail pipeline really does with oil prices, and why the pain at the pump might outlast the market's volatility. #GasolinePrices #CrudeOil #Refining #RetailFuel #ConsumerPrices #WTI #Brent #EnergyEconomics #SupplyChain #PumpPrices #Inflation #SummerDriving #JonesAct #BlendEconomics #EnergyMarkets #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #Economics Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
