This sounds almost unbelievable, but, it is a result of hurricane Ike. The pipeline that takes mogas to that part of the country were almost empty when the refineries in Houston went down. No gas being made so no gas to put into the pipeline and pump to you guys. It will get better as most of them are back up and running now. My guess is they had to raise the price so high so only those who really needed it would buy it. That will go away very soon and you will have the normal spread between grades like the rest of us.
