They have to drain the pipes and tanks to get ready for the summer blend you politicians mandate at frequent intervals. It isn't just one refinery. It's all of them.

Why is this not screamed from the mountainsides? It’s a politician-made shortage, not a real one! The boutique fuels have got to be the reason we see this every year. The drive-by’s always talk about the “summer driving season” when in reality it’s the “boneheaded enviro-whacko mandated boutique fuel refining season”!
Does anyone really drive all that much more in the summer than in the winter? I’m sure somewheres out there Ward and June are piling the kids into the family station wagon to go see Cousin Eddie out in Kansas or wherever, but for the most part we drive to work, we drive home, we go to the grocery store and we do this no matter what month it is!
Sheeesh.
