re: Gas has gone up almost 40 cents a gallon in the last few days

I always hear that they switch to a “summer blend” at refineries this time of year, and that at least partially contributes to a rise in prices.

Is that true oil and gas guys?

Works similar to ultra low Sulphur diesel. The regular diesel and gas is still being made. They just can't sell it here so they ship it overseas. The supply of available gas and diesel we can burn is reduced drastically and raises prices domestically.

Does anyone think a refinery retrofitted the entire place when ultra low Sulphur diesel was required?

No, they only rolled over or built a section of the refinery for the new process. The old shite is still being made and still burned around the world. They just decreased supply here and the price sky rocketed.

If they were to stop requiring this ultra low shite here you'd see diesel prices drop dtrastically overnight. We'd have a shitload more supply here to utilize.

There is a reason for years diesel was so much cheaper than gas....
