In particular, a few companies that could benefit include Valero, HollyFrontier, Tesoro, CVR and Calumet.

Lipow, president of Lipow Associates, also said that the market could see gasoline prices decline.

“I think come the dead of winter, we should be declining, actually, about 15 cents from where we are now, putting us at $3.60 (per gallon),” he said.
