WTI is recognized for its highest quality and is mainly used in diesel fuel and mainly in the production of Brent high-quality gasoline. The price of the two representative crude oils is determined including transportation costs, production, and storage facility availability.

In addition, global traders tend to prefer Brent because of the greater price fluctuation compared to WTI. Although the prices of the two products have been only a few dollars apart over the decades, Brent has soared over the past decade and is now trading an average of five to ten dollars above WTI.
