Also it's not just because the oil companies can get away with it,
it's used in far smaller quantities over here, to the point where the
oil companies are thinking it's not worth the bother.

Last I heared all UK AVGAS is imported from continental refineries
due to the fact that it's "not worth the bother".
See the following link for how much agas the UK burns:
