Because unlike their network gateways, their pricing change is unidirectional.
Because there was already a glut, now the places that feed this pipeline have to be backed up. Just because it’s gasoline doesn’t mean it’s not a link in the whole chain.
Because they can and do use any excuse to bump the prices.
