i agree, it is not price that will force folks to small cars.. however, long lines will have a major impact.

blends are a major problem esp. with spot shortages.. when i ran a terminal in the seventies it was only three grades. now that same terminal may deliver nine to twelve grades of gasoline as it supplies four states all may have different rules... just imagine the cuts required in pipelines to ship smaller volume , the tankage it takes up to store each different product assuming they cannot blend product at the truck loading racks. We pay additional costs for gasoline because of the required extra handling of a product that the refinery , tankers, pipelines, tank cars have to handle in various compartments, cut over valves, pumps, etc.

no idea what that extra in the system equates to the price at the pump. With prices at $3. it may not be significant as when prices were at $2. gg
