The problem does not lie with the special blend. It rests with maintenance and inventories. It is the companies that are stiffing the consumer with their lie about the blend.
You are just running the fossil fuel industry lie and trying to get the special blend permanently removed while pretending that all this is just an interim measure. The industry wants the blend killed.

The evidence speaks for itself. Other states do not have this level and frequency price spikes. Those states also use regular blend.
The obvious solution is to mandate the CA refineries maintain the same inventory levels and stable pricing that they practice in other states.
In order to facilitate this, the refinery infrastructure must be upgraded and built up. In the interim period (1 year or 2 or whatever they require) the regular blend should be used.
Then and only then, the special blend can be introduced.
One need only look at the frequent crisis and shortages over the years to see that the cart has been placed well before the horse.
