Gonna assume they started using summer blend around my area based on my recent fuel ups.

They enjoy you paying more for gas. Only reason to have so many different blends.

Called another company . Told not until late MAY or early June . Refinery issues ? Less refineries here on the east coast . Wonder if that's part of the later arrival .

Could very well be. That sucks.

I think that I must be running on "summer fuel" .. as I am at about 570 km on my latest tank and my gauge hasn't started to blink yet. (I was typically getting about 520 km /tank in the winter time) I don't know how much further I will get on this tank but it should start to blink soon.
