You can NOT sell RBOB without blending something with it to bring the Octane level up to 87, that has nothing to do with oxygenate. Fuel below 87 octane is not legal for sale in most of the US.
Ethanol is CHEAP octane. All of the other alternatives are much more expensive.
You don't create a 55 cent spread on 10% ethanol vs non ethanol gas with a $1 Rins value. That only accounts for 10 cents per gallon of the price difference between E-10 blended gas and non ethanol gas.

Does anybody else agree?
