Which is a lie, since there are vehicles which require premium. What they're really doing is gouging.
Premium is delivered either in a different transport or in a separate tank of the truck to the station. It is somewhat the delivery that raises the price, not gouging or extra work at the refinery. Although, premium gas at the refinery has the same separate storage issue as in the transportation which also raises the price.
I can understand that theory but by the same token mid-grade and regular for that matter must also be handled separately.
