Winter-blend gasoline has a higher RVP, so it evaporates easier. To give it a higher RVP, refineries make it with more butane, which also helps the gas in your car ignite easier during the cold weather.Butane is a relatively inexpensive additive to gasoline, so that’s why gas prices can drop anywhere from 10 to 30 cents per gallon around the fall when gas stations make the switch.
That’s why summer-blend gas has less butane, which gives it a lower RVP and makes it harder for it to evaporate. While it’s better for the environment, since it has lower emissions, it’s also more expensive to produce.When summer-blend gasoline hits the pumps in late spring, gas prices can increase up to 15 cents per gallon, along with the increased demand because of more travel during the summer, it can be even more.summer-blend contains about 1.
