About RBOB Gasoline
What is RBOB?
RBOB (Reformulated Blendstock for Oxygenate Blending) is the wholesale gasoline benchmark traded on NYMEX. It represents the cost of gasoline before it reaches gas stations, excluding taxes, distribution costs, and retail markup.
RBOB futures are quoted in dollars per gallon and serve as the primary pricing reference for gasoline across the United States.
RBOB vs. Pump Prices
Gas station prices are higher than RBOB due to:
- Federal and state taxes: $0.50-0.80/gallon
- Distribution and marketing: $0.10-0.15/gallon
- Retail station markup: $0.10-0.20/gallon
- Typical spread: RBOB + $1.00-1.50 = pump price
