Gasoline prices remain elevated into November
Gasoline prices will remain elevated and are unlikely to fall to $2.50 per gallon by November because Middle East refinery capacity remains offline, product exports are constrained, gasoline cracks are at multi-year highs, demand stays robust, and the Strait of Hormuz disruption continues to limit product flows.
