IHS Markit: Banning Exports of US Crude Oil Would Likely Raise Gasoline Prices, Not Lower Them

Retrieved on: 
Tuesday, November 16, 2021

Gasoline prices in the United States are connected to the global oil and gasoline marketand not the price of domestically produced crude oil, the analysis notes.

Key Points: 
  • Gasoline prices in the United States are connected to the global oil and gasoline marketand not the price of domestically produced crude oil, the analysis notes.
  • A ban on exporting domestic U.S. crude oil production may lower the price of domestic crude.
  • However, this could discourage production of both oil and natural gas with the result likely being a tighter world oil marketwithout lowering gasoline prices.
  • Such a disruption of international crude oil flows would lead to a scramble to find other oil and generate more upward pressure on crude oil pricesand thus increase the price of U.S. gasoline.
