The St. Croix refinery has their reformer offline. The reformer is used to convert straight-run naphtha into a high octane blending component called reformate as well as some butane and lighter gases. The effect would not really be a reduction in gasoline, but a reduction in a high quality blending component which would make it harder to make RFG. As of this writing, the fire is out. If you have any further questions, feel free to contact me. Jim 36970
