JD, I'm no expert, but I do know that "sweet" crude from Saudi Arabia and the rest of the Gulf is a better grade of crude than is generally available from domestic wells. Sweet crude has less sulfur, so it's easier to refine. The percentage of paraffins in a particular crude is not particularly important because the refinery is going to "crack" it anyway to get whatever they need: gasoline, kerosene, diesel, etc. As far as fluctuating fuel prices, this is mostly supply and demand. Gas stations know that most people fill up for the weekend and bump up their prices accordingly. Believe me, if you bought your fuel in the quantities that UP does, you'd be getting the same deal they do.
