FYI many states DO ship refined Gas by tanker! ie refined in Houston then shipped to Fla by tanker to a storage facility ie GATX. It can also be shipped by rail to inner states that do not have ports available. To say only crude oil is shipped by tanker is incorrect.

Correct, that is why I posted "gasoline is generally not shipped". For the nation as a whole ocean liners do not carry the majority of refined fuel. There are area's that do get it shipped via ocean liners but not the largest % of the US. Pipeline, Rail, Barge, and non ocean going craft handle the bulk of gas movement. There are tons of areas that can mix fuels along the process line, that is why testing is done at the pumps as well to get an avg. octane rating grade sticker.

I am not saying it does not happen just that it is not something everyone in the nation really needs to worry about...there are more local factors/issues that put real strain on costs.
