Unless you think supply and demand aren't factors...
It's actually a combination of three things:
1) It's peak driving season, so demand is very high. 6% greater than last year, in fact.
2) Since it's summer, refiners are still dealing with the mandated summer blends.
3) To try to meet demand, refineries are operating at near 100%. When that happens, more things break.
So, I suppose it could be a big BP conspiracy to actually intentionally limit the product they produce during peak driving season... Or...
