Crude oil hit the $90/bbl mark overseas and U.S. futures surpassed $88/bbl. But gasoline and diesel were even more spectacular performers, racing higher with the stock market.rnSpot gasoline was particularly strong on the East and West Coasts, thanks in part to recent refinery events. California blends flirted with $2.50/gal and N.Y. Harbor spot unleaded hit $2.45/gal. The Midwest and Gulf Coast didn't see the same tightness in supply, but prices in those two markets moved past $2.30/gal.rnThere is still a sense that gasoline has or will crest soon. Plenty of European gasoline is headed to the U.S. It's just a question of whether it arrives in the first or second half of December.
