HOUSTON, Sept 21 (Reuters) - California gasoline rebounded
on Monday as a Los Angeles refinery undertook maintenance and
refiners were preparing to switch to winter-blend gasoline,
traders said.
Unleaded ethanol-blend CARBOB gasoline for September was in a bid-offer spread at 16 cents/19 cents per gallon over October NYMEX RBOB gasoline. San Francisco Bay market gasoline was even to L.A.
Tesoro Corp said on Monday it was performing planned maintenance on a coking unit at its 100,000 barrel per day (bpd) Los Angeles refinery this week. The work began Sunday and is expected to last through Friday.
Beginning in October, refiners will only be able to ship winter-blend gasoline to be shipped through the California pipeline system. Winter-blend gasoline is in shorter supply than summer-blend fuel.
The use of winter-blend gasoline is mandated by federal and state environmental regulation.
October CARBOB sold in L.A. at 17 cents and 18 cents a gallon over November RBOB gasoline. It was also heard done at 20.25 cents over.
November CARBOB sold in the southern California market at 11 cents over December RBOB.
Ultra-low sulfur diesel switched to the October contract period and was offered at 2.75 cents a gallon over November NYMEX heating oil.
CARB diesel also moved into October and was at 3 cents/4.5 cents per gallon over November heating oil. In the Bay, October CARB diesel was at 3 cents over L.A.
Los Angeles jet fuel stayed in the September contract period at 3.5 cents/4.5 cents over heating oil.
In the Portland, Oregon, market, unleaded gasoline was offered at 16 cents per gallon over the NYMEX and diesel was offered at 21 cents over heating oil.
