본 연구는 국제 원유가격의 변동에 따른 수송용 유류제품 가격의 비대칭성(rockets and feather)을 오차수정모형을 사용하여 분석한다. 회귀분석결과에 따르면, 모든 수송용 유류제품에서 비대칭성 현상이 일관성 있게 나타났으며, 특히 고급휘발유에서는 타 유종에 비해서 비용 상승기와 비용 하강기에 모두에서 비용의 변화의 충격에 민감하게 반응하는 것으로 추정되었다. 이는 비용상승기의 경우, 마진이 높은 고급휘발유의 특성상, 이를 빠르게 반영하는 것은 이윤극대화를 추구하는 기업의 합리적인 반응일 것으로 추정된다. 그러나 비용이 하락할 경우에 고급휘발유가 타 유종에 비해서 빠르게 하락하는 현상은, 고급휘발유 가격이 상승할 때, 일반휘발유로 이동했던 소비자들과 고급휘발유에 대한 잠재적 수요를 가진 일반 휘발유 소비자들을 고급휘발유 소비로 끌어들일 수 있는 유인이 존재하기 때문으로 판단된다.

Recently the government declared an all-out war on bogus fuel in order to crack down on tax evasion and ensure fuel safety. The move came after four people were killed in explosion at the two gas station. Illegally processed gasoline is the only one of low grade fuels. The problems are induced by relatively high vapor pressure of bogus fuel.

Petroleum is the most consumed energy source in Korea with a usage rate of 38.7% among the available primary energy sources. The price of liquid petroleum products in Korea includes taxes such as transportation·environment·energy tax. Thus, illegal production and distribution of liquid petroleum is widespread because of its huge price difference from that of the normal product and its tax-free nature. Generally, the illegal petroleum product is produced by mixing liquid petroleum with other similar petroleum alternatives. The two kinds of gasoline, common gasoline and premium gasoline, are being distributed in Korea. The premium gasoline is often adulterated with cheaper common gasoline that lowers the octane number of gasoline. It is possible to distinguish them with their color difference, green and yellow for different grade gasoline. However, when small volume of common gasoline is added to premium gasoline, it is difficult to determine whether premium gasoline contained common grade or not. In this study, we inspect gasoline, which is illegally produced by mixing common gasoline to premium gasoline. When the ratio of mixing common gasoline is increased, premium gasoline shows decreasing absorbance at 600 nm and 650 nm under UV-Vis spectrometer. Moreover, the detected intensity (mV·s) of green dye in high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) was decreased by common gasoline under 0.99 correlation value. The more the common gasoline is mixed, the more olefin and naphthene are detected by gas chromatography. In addition, trimethyl pentane as octane improver, paraffin and toluene are decreased by common gasoline mixing. The findings of this study suggests that illegal petroleum can be identified by analysis of components and simulated samples.
