U.S. Cash Products-Gulf gasoline mixed, ULSD up on pipeline scheduling

* Chicago gasoline gains despite refinery unit restart

* NY harbor gasoline mixed, ULSD slightly stronger

NEW YORK, April 16 (Reuters) - U.S. Gulf Coast cash gasoline differentials

were mixed on Thursday, traders said.

A2 CBOB, or conventional regular gasoline blendstock formulated for blending

with 10 percent ethanol, traded at an 18.75-cent discount to May RBOB

futures, down 0.75 cent per gallon, while conventional M2 gasoline was seen in a

wide bid-offer spread of 18.50/15.50 cents under, largely flat to Wednesday's

levels.

Gulf ultra-low sulfur diesel's (ULSD) differential climbed half a cent per

gallon to a 5.75-cent discount to May ULSD futures as the fuel's latest

five-day lifting cycle was scheduled to move on the Colonial pipeline, traders

said.

In the Midwest, Chicago CBOB gasoline traded at a 14.00-cent discount to May

RBOB futures, up a penny per gallon, on higher demand even though the smaller of

two gasoline-making fluid catalytic cracking units at BP Plc's 413,500

barrels per day refinery in Whiting, Indiana, finished restarting.

The unit was shut last week for repairs.

Chicago ULSD, however, slid 2.00 cents per gallon to a 10.00-cent discount

to May ULSD futures, traders said.

Group Three gasoline also fell a penny per gallon to an 18.00-cent discount

to May RBOB.

New York harbor products were mixed. F2 RBOB was steady around 1.25 cents

under May RBOB, while M2 conventional gasoline was up 0.50 cent at 11.25 cents

below the benchmark.

ULSD was up 0.25 cent pegged near 0.50 cent above May ULSD, while high

sulfur heating oil steadied at 11 cents below and jet fuel was unchanged at 5.00

cents below May futures.

Prices of Renewable Identification Number (RIN) credits were little-changed,

traders said.

Ethanol credits for 2015 compliance traded at 71.5 and 71.75 cents each, at

the weaker end of Wednesday's trades from 71 to 73 cents. Credits for 2014

traded at a premium of 1.5-2 cents above the current year's credits, brokers

said.

Biodiesel credits for 2015 traded at 85.25 cents, within Wednesday's 84 to

86-cent range. Biodiesel credits for 2014 were reported offered by sellers at 78

cents, with no transactions sighted.
