Refiners are producing fewer ship fuels in favor of other products, according to Reuters. This shift is driven by elevated crack spreads and crude oil prices, as reported by the U.S.
Energy Information Administration. The EIA notes that crude oil prices have not hit record highs, but elevated crack spreads contribute to higher prices at the pump.
The EIA provides context on crack spreads and crude oil prices, but does not specify the long-term effects of this shift.
