I think it was just a business decision on their part to initially have the 91 map.
As someone that works in the automotive aftermarket I can tell you that a decent chunk of business does come from California but it is not enough to make the business case you are suggesting. Texas, Florida, Virginia, and New York each produce as much or more business than California. That being said, I do not know what the fuel situation in those other states is like so that component could be valid. I know we have all the 93 we need here.

Taken Friday.
