The current issue of Flying points out that avgas is made in batches while avtur is in continuous production; so, the avgas you are buying today may have been made many months ago when the feedstock was expensive. The refiner is not about to undercut his own stocks; so, won't be making avgas until he has about sold off his current investment.
