The argument that you will hear for justifying the profit taking off blends is that they have to hold different inventories. Nonsense. The stuff is blended at the nozzle. Reset the mixer and pump a different tanker compartment with a different blend than the last one that was filled. Reset it for the next customer, etc. It's a few seconds for the metering change and a tidy little profit is netted.
Ideally yes, but the place here doesn't blend it at the nozzle. Mainly because they can't have the B100 tanks outside. So, they have a tank of pre-blended B20 outside at the credit card pumps, and a 600 gallon tank of B100 inside and you pull the hose out the door. I don't actually know of anywhere around here that sells B100 in a "normal" pump, because of the temperature issue.
