It makes sense to everyone with even a slight understanding of
economics. Supply and Demand. Low demand, low supply,
little competition results in high
prices. High demand, High supply, competition results in low prices.

Ya and the good stuff is required to make the alcohol mixture,
so the good stuff has a demand.

Its' more that the refineries need to tool up to make the particular
blend. They have more production and storage capacity to make blends,
because that's what sells the most.
Except the blending isn't necessarily done at the refinery. The same
refinery makes the fuel for numerous companies, and the additive pack
is added after it leaves the refinery. In some cases it's at the "tank
farm" where a barrel of additive id dumped into the truck bedore it is
filled with gasoline - or a metered amount of ethanol is added before
filling with gasoline.
