In CA, the problem is supposedly a lack of refinery capacity combined with
recovering costs to build new refineries (or modify existing ones).  The
laws changed regarding diesel fuel composition (requiring very low sulfur
and aromatic content; with relatively high cetane) which required
substantial process modifications.  The mods are estimated to cost some $2
billion, just for CA.

Whether that applies to PA or not, I don't know.  But I do seem to recall
hearing that some other states were following our lead.
