Subscriber note: Platts to revamp US gasoline components assessments

Platts proposes to publish outright prices assessments for US Gulf Coast alkylate, raffinate, and reformate, and additionally publish the spreads for those products versus Platts' US Gulf Coast, front-line 87-unleaded pipeline assessments prevailing at 3:15 pm ET. Platts proposes to introduce these assessments on December 3, 2012. Additionally, Platts invites comments on a proposal to discontinue its existing alkylate, raffinate, and reformate differential assessments to the Platts' US Gulf Coast gasoline waterborne assessment. Platts will continue to publish those differentials for the time being, but Platts is considering discontinuing the waterborne-based differential assessments effective May 1, 2013.
