Europe Gasoline/Naphtha — Gasoline refining margins end week lower

LONDON, Sept 25 (Reuters) — Northwest European gasoline refining margins dropped 92 cents to $45.01 a barrel on Friday, marking a roughly $2 drop from last Friday's level. About 14,000 metric tons of gasoline E5 barges traded, including 10,000 tons of winter grade and 4,000 tons of summer grade. ExxonMobil sold E5 barges to Gunvor, Vitol and ATL. A further 7,000 tons of gasoline E10 barges traded, 3,000 tons of which were winter grade and the balance summer. Trafigura, ExxonMobil and Glencore were sellers and Varo, ATL and MB Energy were buyers. The Perm oil refinery, Russia's seventh-largest oil processing plant by volume, stopped operations following a Ukrainian drone attack, which caused a fire and damaged pipelines, storage and technological units on Friday, two industry sources said. Germany's lower house of parliament approved on Friday the second temporary gasoline tax discount this year, which will cost federal and state governments €2.5 billion ($2.85 billion). German consumer sentiment weakened more sharply than expected heading into October, as rising energy prices soured households' income outlook, a survey showed on Friday. Gasoline shipped to Syria has begun moving.
