Switch to summer grade gasoline in Europe

Effective March 8, Platts proposes to start reflecting summer grades of gasoline on a pro-rated basis in the Northwest Europe and Mediterranean cargo assessments, with summer spec having an increasing weighting in the assessment toward March 22.

Winter grades will continue to be taken into account until March 19, after which only summer spec will be reflected.

Platts proposes, effective March 17, to start reflecting summer grades of gasoline on a pro-rated basis in the ARA barge market, with summer spec having an increasing weighting until March 26.

From March 29, summer spec will be fully reflected.
