When the pipeline leak began there was already another pipeline leak on another line. This shut down not only the primary but the secondary source as well.

So refiners have to scale back on production. If they shut down then restarting is a rather big production.

Crude can be bought up from the south, from Nederland, TX, and Cushing, OK, but it will take a week or so to get there.

Since demand for gasoline has remained steady it has to come from somewhere and it is likely being trucked in from terminals south of you. You are paying for the shipping fees by truck.

When the crude lines out of Canada are repaired the price should drop.
