In Northwest Europe, the gasoline-to-crude oil spread exceeded $17 per barrel on Friday—an increase of around $25 compared to a week earlier, marking the highest jump since the general index began in late 2010. This sharp rise came after an equally significant fall in recent weeks. The drastic fluctuation in gasoline prices mainly stems from volatile physical crude oil costs. In early April, Brent spot prices hit a record high, causing the gasoline spread (the so-called “crack spread”) to turn negative. Now, with crude oil prices coming down, gasoline prices are once again rising relative to Brent spot prices.
