How seasonal demand shifts those siblings
Driving season, heating season, and flight peaks pull the same refinery toward different cuts.
When the purchase is complete, return to the original window. It will refresh.
From the opening
Demand for the sibling fuels does not peak in the same months, so the profitable mix of the barrel moves with the calendar. Summer driving lifts gasoline, cold months lift diesel and heating oil, and holiday or vacation flying lifts jet fuel. The opening covers seasons pull different cuts, yields and tanks both shift, and shoulder months hold the spare.
The rest of the brief — the later sections and the reading notes — opens after Stripe confirms payment.
