US Gulf Coast gasoline/CBOB seasonal RVP changes

Platts US Gulf Coast conventional 87, premium 93, CBOB 87, and CBOB 93 octane gasoline assessments will reflect 11.5 RVP beginning with the 51st Colonial Pipeline shipping cycle on September 3. These changes reflect seasonal adjustments to RVP levels.

At the same time, Platts will suspend its summer supplemental 9.0 RVP assessments for the same grades.

This revises an earlier RVP shift planned to begin on August 31, after Colonial revised its RVP transition calendar.
