And yet, for the first time in RFS history, EPA is proposing
to change the rules in the middle of the game to allow
challenges related to the distribution of renewable fuel by
oil companies ... to be cause for waiving the RFS on a yearto-year basis. Such a provision would gut the core concept
behind the law.

the same week last year. That stock build, largely driven by
inventory additions in the East and West coasts, also came
with demand indications that not unexpectedly dropped for
the second consecutive week.
While overall gasoline demand implied by weekly EIA
numbers slipped only 0.38% week-to-week, a downturn of
34,000 b/d, it also followed up a big loss the previous week
that together amounted to 5.5% in demand erosion, which took
average offtake under 9 million b/d for the first time in 14 weeks.
If these wholesale prices continue to firm, things will
change on the street, but average U.S. retail gasoline is on
the cusp of falling below $2.30/gal, according to GasBuddy.
com, with three states in the Southeast currently having
average retail prices below $2/gal, and there are a couple
more knocking on the door.
In natural gas...
Autumn is in the offing, and that will bring the so-called
shoulder season of lower demand for natural gas before
winter heating needs start to kick in. Gas markets outside
the Northeast looked heavy through last week, and an asexpected weekly stock build did not do much to change the
basic trajectory of the market.
Henry Hub spot gas traded flat day-to-day to run $2.68/
mmbtu Thursday, which led to a loss of 3cts over the last
week. Chicago Citygate gas also looked flat over the last
couple of days, eventually losing a penny Thursday, and at
$2.69/mmbtu that had spot prices off 2cts week to week
in that market. Northeast gas was sometimes much more
volatile and mixed over the last week, but it was a response
to the immediate demands of weather, and by Thursday a lot
of the trading came before the EIA storage report.
No surprises from EIA had October natural gas ending
off less than a penny Thursday, after picking up some value
ahead of the report. October NYMEX contracts settled down
80pts for the Thursday session, at $2.652/mmbtu, and that

In corn markets...
Corn markets retreated from their post-USDA-forecast rally
that they mounted a week ago. Front-month December corn
dropped 6.25cts on the CBOT futures board Thursday, but
the $3.7975/bu settle still ran 5.5cts more than the contract
did a week ago.
CBOT corn for March also shed 6.25cts Thursday to settle
at $3.91/bu, and that is also 5.5cts more than a week ago.

In natural gasoline...
Mt. Belvieu spot natural gasoline prices climbed since late
August, but have seesawed so far in September, with arbs
seen as mostly closed at present. Canadian diluent prices
took a hit on Thursday, to potentially back up barrels that
might normally flow to Canada from the U.S.
Mt. Belvieu non-TET spot natural gasoline averaged
97.25cts/gal at midweek, with thin trading witnessed into
Thursday. Bid-ask level for physical C5 natural gasoline was
last seen at 93.25-97cts/gal. At the time, October natural
gasoline futures traded at 96cts/gal.
In ultra-low-sulfur diesel...
After a three-week hiatus, total distillate production topped
5 million b/d in the latest weeks work of figures from EIA,
coming in last week at 5.076 million b/d. Refiners are starting
to see the better returns on diesel gallons in most cases, and
thus making more diesel based on current spot pricing.
While refiners tilt production toward diesel, inventories
of the fuel in the U.S. are already at a multiyear high. Total
distillate inventories hit 154 million bbl for the week, the
highest since October 2011. The ultra-low-sulfur diesel
segment had stocks swelling nearly 2.4 million bbl week to
week, and the overall stocks at 132.1 million bbl represent
20.7% more than storage tanks held at the same time last
year. Regionally, only the Rockies have ULSD stocks running
behind a year ago, and the East Coast is up nearly 40% while
the Gulf Coast carries 28.2% more year on year.
Distillate demand as measured by the Energy Information
Administration dropped 83,000 b/d, to 3.482 million b/d. The
four-week average continues to trail last year, and the most
recent measurement stands 2.8% below last year.
Spot market ULSD prices got shaky ahead of the weekend.
Gulf Coast ULSD traded $1.4157/gal outright Thursday and
fell 7.15cts behind week-ago trading. Chicago ULSD running
$1.5497/gal for the day slumped 4.25cts compared with
week-ago deals after slipping 42pts on the day.

Operations at the first Etanolix technology outside
Finland is going well, said Patrick Pitknen, head of business
development and sales at St1 Biofuels, which developed the
technology.
The Etanolix unit has been installed at the North European

NEOT is the operator of the unit. The refinery is processing
biowaste and process residue from local bakeries and bread
into advanced ethanol.

The government began to withdraw policy support for grainbased ethanol in 2010 after increasing domestic grain prices
triggered alarm within the government, according to the report.
All subsidies for grain-based ethanol have now been removed,
it said, and production volumes are tightly controlled.
