There are currently 70 government-mandated "botique" fuel markets
in the US.  You must be living in one of the lucky ones with a
production backlog.  The ones where consumption is overtaking
productions are feeling the worst of it.  Since fuel blends
cannot be moved between markets to accommodate spot shortages,
the gasoline market has become quite balkanized.
