Ever wonder why gas is so expensive in the summer? One reason is that between May 1 and Sept 15, gas refineries switch from winter-blend to summer-blend gasoline, which is more expensive to make. Summer-blend gasoline is formulated to limit emissions during the warmer months when gas can evaporate more easily. 🤓
