   with gasoline prices rising across all five PADDs while ultra-low sulfur 
diesel (ULSD) increased in four regions as crude oil and refined-product 
futures remained elevated on continued Middle East supply concerns.

   Nationwide conventional unleaded gasoline rack prices averaged $3.4706 
gallon, up 4.51cts from Monday's $3.4255 gallon, according to DTN data.

   ULSD rack prices averaged $5.2680 gallon, up 1.43cts from the previous 
trading session's $5.2537 gallon.

   The rebound in rack prices came as energy markets continued to assess supply 
risks after Saudi Arabia shut its critical East-West pipeline, which bypasses 
the Strait of Hormuz, following damage from drones launched from Iraq.

   NYMEX WTI futures traded near $102.18 bbl Tuesday morning after reaching a 
session high of $104.21 bbl. Front-month New York Harbor ULSD rose about 10cts 
to $5.0655 gallon, while RBOB gasoline gained roughly 3cts to $3.3476 gallon.

   Refining margins remained especially supportive for distillates. The diesel 
crack traded near a record $110.28 bbl, up $3.32, or 3.1%, on the day, compared 
with a gasoline crack of $38.47 bbl, up $0.55, or 1.5%.

   ULSD racks increased in four of the five PADDs. Midwest values posted the 
largest advance, rising 3.92cts to $5.2110 gallon. East Coast prices increased 
1.47cts to $5.0927 gallon, Gulf Coast values rose 1.45cts to $5.1207 gallon and 
Rocky Mountain prices added 0.99ct to $5.3413 gallon. West Coast ULSD fell 
2.44cts to $5.8852 gallon. PADD 5 maintained the widest premium to the national 
average at 61.72cts, while PADD 1 held the largest discount at 17.53cts.

   Gasoline racks increased across all five regions. Midwest values posted the 
largest gain, rising 12.31cts to $3.3401 gallon, followed by Rocky Mountain 
prices, which advanced 5.36cts to $4.0209 gallon. Gulf Coast gasoline rose 
2.52cts to $3.2748 gallon, East Coast values increased 1.54cts to $3.2876 
gallon and West Coast prices added 0.67ct to $4.1385 gallon.
