Subscriber note: Platts proposes specification change for Portland, Seattle gasoline

Platts proposes to change the specifications for its Portland and Seattle gasoline assessments.

The proposed assessments will reflect 84 octane for conventional suboctane gasoline and 90 octane for premium suboctane. These specifications reflect current standards for on the Olympic and Kinder Morgan pipeline systems. The proposed change would replace the existing gasoline assessments.
