Boutique oil

Hey, why is nobody selling prestige gasoline with a "Made in the USA" label on it? Or if that's not realistic, "Made in the Western Hemisphere?" Loads of people pay an extra quarter a gallon for bullshit "premium" gas their cars have no use for. Surely there's a decent number who'd pay an extra buck to know that the wealthy theocrats they're sponsoring are domestic ones.

It might be that the way gas is produced assumes oil is fungible, and makes separating it out by point-of-origin prohibitive, but if not, it seems like a market opportunity for somebody.
