Gasoline's price follows crude oil, its main raw material, but also depends on refining. Refinery outages, maintenance and the cost of turning crude into fuel can widen or narrow the gap between gasoline and crude. Demand is seasonal, rising with driving in the warmer months, and the switch between summer and winter fuel blends affects prices. Hurricanes and other disruptions to refining and pipelines, inventory levels and exports also move the market.
