Winter Blend Fuels Arrive Early Due to Refinery Fire

Tuesday, August 30th, 2022 -- 8:03 AM

(Terry Bell, WRN) There’s hope that the price of gas may be coming down even further in southeast Wisconsin.

Winter blend gasoline can now be sold in southeast Wisconsin, thanks to a fire that knocked a refinery offline in Indiana making summer-blend fuels. The Environmental Protection Agency waiver for four Midwestern states means gas stations can sell winter-blend gas for now.

Winter-grade fuels are easier to make, and historically cheaper. Gas Buddy says there’s no telling how this new development may change the price at the pump.
