Would cutting production of midgrade gas help with fuel pricing?

I am an outsider in the world of oil and gas but what is the point of midgrade gas? Either you want cheap gas and dont care about the performance or you have a car that needs premium. Who buys midgrade?
Would cutting the production of midgrade help with more supply and helping bring down prices?

I've also always wondered this.

Cutting having 100 different blends would help
Also cutting out ethanol

I was always under the assumption mid grade is just blended regular and premium

I use midgrade in my lawn equipment.
That's all I got.

Maybe, but we could also stop demanding that producers put corn in their gasoline for the sole purpose of pandering to the state of Iowa.

Why? Is it recommended or your choice?

Supply is tight now that's why the price is high.
When it gets really ugly the midgrade will be dropped because it won't be selling.

Commercial grade equipment, some of it is recommended. Plus I find it runs better at higher rpms so it's worth the cost to make my grass cutting life easier.

but it’s “RENEWABLE”

So to answer the OP’s question, there is no production specific to refining Mid-Grade gasoline.

Most stations will only have premium and regular fuel tanks, and mid-grade is blended at the pump. It can be made and delivered, but there’s no real purpose in that.
As for the “additives”, those are all blended in at the terminal. So from a fuel supply perspective, it doesn’t matter. It all comes the same from the refinery, regardless of who produced it. The terminal adds the appropriate proprietary additives as it’s pumped into the delivery truck.

Should be using ethanol free

I go through the gas so quickly that it doesn't make a difference.

The manufacturer recommends mid grade for my truck, so I do.

Refining produces their largest volume of gasoline below the pump octane of 87. Yes refining produces blend stock gasoline with higher octane numbers.
The low octane gasoline (largest volume produced) and the higher octane gasoline (smaller volume produced) are then blended to achieve pump grades of 87, 89 and 91/92. These now blended grades of gasoline are then transported to local gas stations via truck and offloaded to the respective tanks .

So, to the OP, would just refining to 89 be much more efficient and plentiful? Seems like it would be.

We passed a $500 billion dollar package last year for infrastructure. We could also just remove all of the taxes paid on gasoline……forever.
