Why Oil Is Up While Gasoline Falls

Oil prices have climbed over six percent in the last five sessions, yet the price at the pump is actually drifting lower. In this episode, Lucas and Luna unpack the widening crack spread — the gap between crude and refined products — and what it says about refinery margins, summer driving demand, and the odd disconnect between the commodity market and your local gas station. With WTI near 84 dollars a barrel and regular gasoline below 4 dollars a gallon nationwide, they explore the forces pulling these numbers apart: refinery utilization, export economics, and the quiet influence of the strategic petroleum reserve's low stockpiles. If you've ever wondered why gasoline doesn't always follow oil, or why a refinery does well when crude stalls, this episode offers a clear, numbers-driven explanation. #OilPrices #Gasoline #CrackSpread #RefineryMargins #WTI #BrentCrude #EnergyEconomics #SupplyAndDemand #SummerDrivingSeason #RefineryUtilization #ExportEconomics #StrategicPetroleumReserve #ConsumerPrices #Inflation #Economics #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #EnergyMarkets Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
