Gasoline
Gasoline is traded according to octane, volatility, oxygenate content and local specification requirements.
MARKET REFERENCES
How the market commonly references price
There is rarely one universal price for a physical commodity. Commercial value depends on the benchmark, specification, origin, destination, timing and logistics agreed between buyer and seller.
- Singapore 92 RON / 95 RON gasoline assessments
- Regional gasoline cargo benchmarks
- US RBOB references for Atlantic-basin economics
TYPICAL COMMERCIAL STRUCTURE
How physical pricing is often built
Typical Asia formula: Singapore 92 RON benchmark ± grade/origin differential. Higher-octane grades may be priced as a premium to 92 RON, with freight added for delivered transactions.
PRICE DRIVERS
What moves the physical differential?

PHYSICAL TRADE
Commercial considerations
Cargoes can trade FOB refinery/hub or CFR/CIF destination. Specifications are critical because gasoline requirements differ substantially by country.
The examples on this page describe common market conventions at a high level. Actual contracts can use different pricing periods, assessments, quality adjustments, Incoterms and negotiated differentials.
