West Texas Intermediate (WTI) is the U.S. benchmark crude oil, priced in dollars per barrel. It is the input cost that flows, with a delay, into gasoline and diesel at the pump.
WTI is one part of a fuel price, not the whole thing. Refining margins, taxes, and distribution sit on top, which is why a falling crude quote does not always pull the pump down with it.
