Final 2011 USGC gasoline RVP shift announced

When the Colonial Pipeline's 61st shipping cycle becomes prompt, Platts will begin assessing 13.5 RVP gasoline in the USGC for all gasoline grades.

This includes: 11.5 RVP A-grade (CBOB); M-grade (conventional unleaded 87); S-grade (Atlanta CBOB); V-grade (conventional premium 93) and D-grade (premium 93 CBOB).

The T-grade (Atlanta premium CBOB) transtions to 11.5 RVP on the 60th shipping cycle.

These changes reflect a seasonal adjustment to RVP levels as required by the Colonial Pipeline system.

The date for these changes depends on the Colonial Pipeline shipping cycle but is expected to take place on or about November 7, 2011.
