Lucas and Luna unpack the refiner margin squeeze, the Iran deal tanker surge through the Strait of Hormuz, and why the price at the pump isn't following crude down as fast as drivers expect. They break down the crack spread, seasonal blend transitions, and what the data from the EIA's latest weekly report tells us about inventory levels.
