Pricing the evolving Chicago market:
Choosing which price is best for you


West Shore. Badger. Wolverine. Buckeye Complex (BCX). These are no longer systems within a singular Chicago market– but have evolved into three distinct markets with three distinct prices.

A Michigan marketer shouldn’t be hit by price changes that only affect the Wisconsin market. And a Wisconsin buyer shouldn’t have to pay Michigan prices on a day when that fuel is available off West Shore at a 7 cent discount. 

Argus has now filled out its suite of Chicago price assessments, adding premium gasoline prices for the Buckeye Complex and Wolverine pipeline. For ease of use, all of Argus’ premium gasoline prices are now assessed as differentials to the Nymex, rather than regrades to regular gasoline markets. Premium gasoline prices are now available at all three Chicago markets, providing price accuracy no matter who you buy from and who you sell to.

Simply ask for the Argus price to West Shore/Badger, Wolverine or Buckeye Complex, whichever is most relevant to the market you are working in. Not familiar with the geographies and pipeline systems? Scroll down to learn more.
