Yes I need to ask that.

I recall my parents owning a Benz 300SD in the 70's and there was a book which came with the diesels telling you where diesel was sold. We based our family vacations on stops along where diesel was sold.

So until you KNOW where you can purchase something, just because there is an alternative doesn't mean there is infrastructure to distribute it, it doesn't mean it's a viable alternative for every consumer.

I had a friend who's race car used jetfuel. His range and limit was from airport to airport. Hardly a viable alternative, but an example of scarce locations for refuelling.
