Can someone fill me in on why this would drop the price? If the gasoline was blended with something else (ethanol), and it's the cost of a barrel of oil and shortage of refinery output thats causing the price hike, wouldn't it make the gas cheaper if it were diluted with something else?

I'm probably missing something large here - I'm not getting it...

Thanks

It would increase the number of refineries from which these states can procure gasoline from.

Think of the price you pay for cheap whisky or vodka. $5.00 a quart = $20.00 a gallon. But for commercial alcohol lets say the price is $5.00 per gallon. lets say you use a mixture of $1.50 a gallon gas at a ratio of 9 parts to 1 gas/alcohol, you would have $1.35 gas plus $.50 alcohol = 1.85 per gallon, for the mixture.
