Northwest European gasoline margins climb despite crude decline in General Energy News 15/06/2026 Northwest European gasoline refining margins increased by $1.49 on Friday to reach $26.44 per barrel, even as underlying crude oil prices decreased. TotalEnergies sold one Eurobob E10 barge to MB Energy in the Argus window. An additional 4,000 tons of Eurobob E5 gasoline barges changed hands, with Equinor and BP selling to MB Energy. Gasoline inventories stored independently in the Amsterdam-Rotterdam-Antwerp refining and storage hub increased more than 10% on Thursday, according to data from Dutch consultancy Insights Global. Gasoline stocks rose during the week to 1.14 million metric tons, with additional vessels expected over the weekend, said Lars van Wageningen from Insights Global. The increased activity has resulted in longer waiting times at barges and higher demand for light distillate vessels. The U.S. gasoline market faces a supply shortage as peak summer driving season approaches, with strong domestic demand and rising fuel exports putting pressure on limited inventories and potentially driving up prices at the pump.
