“Yeah, that and refiners having to change to “summer grades” which are more expensive to make.”

A big problem with the number of summer blends is there is a “line” at the refineries for each product. The refiner makes a “best guess” as to the quantities.

An above normal demand in one area will cause shortages until the refiner can get back to them. Jump the line and somebody else will be short.

Until they have to switch to "Winter grades" which are more expensive to make...
