PNW Sub-Octane Regular & Premium Basis Drop 10cts
MIAMI, FL (DTN) -- December Pacific Northwest sub-octane regular and premium
basis both tumbled by 15cts on Tuesday (11/2) hitting a one-year low driven by
lower offers and weak demand.
Offers for December PNW sub-octane regular were reported at minus 10cts,
moving the basis to a 10.5cts discount to January NYMEX RBOB futures. This was
the lowest since December 23, 2024 when it was at minus 9.5ct.
Offers for PNW sub-octane premium were reported at plus 20cts, moving the
basis to a 19.5cts premium over December NYMEX RBOB futures. Lowest since
November 17 2025, when PNW sub-octane premium were at a 15.5ct premium to
December futures.
Confirmation of trades done at those levels were not available at the time
of publication.
Market sources said the declines reflect typical winter season demand softness
across the Pacific Northwest rack and spot markets.
