Refining companies came under scrutiny some years ago for potential price gouging. This is not what VP is doing but they kinda are. They WILL make more money if crude is down because they can buy all the blending components based on market prices. It doesn't cost near what they charge to make the different blends they produce in general. What we are paying for is their research and engineering that goes into the different blends of fuel.

You would think that with the supply being
high and the demand being about zero the price would drop . Like any other commodity. But since it not a raw material that doesn't apply Not that it has anything to do with this post but regular gas is .99/gal here in SW Ohio |

I have always assumed that the cost of the crude oil required was a much smaller percentage of the cost to produce pump gas than it was to produce racing gas.
Is that true? |

Pro tip: My wife is a Latina so she is higher compression than normal thus the use of C12. You don't want to throw a rod at higher RPMs and knock out the bottom end.
