US Atlantic Coast winter grade RVP switch

Beginning September 1, Platts will publish supplemental US Atlantic Coast winter grade gasoline barge, cargo, Buckeye and Laurel Pipeline assessments for 13.5 RVP conventional, RBOB and CBOB gasoline to reflect changes in seasonal gasoline specifications.

These assessments will run alongside the current summer grade assessments.

Beginning September 16, the winter grade assessments will become the main assessment and replace the lower RVP assessments.
