[quote:Anonymous Coward 23406708:MV8yMDA5ODAwXzMzNzc2MTM2XzRBQzQ1NzIy] California uses a special summer gasoline blend that is not produced outside the state... There are 18 refineries in California (excluding asphalt refineries) only 8 refine over 100k/day... 2 of the 8 major refineries were down this week..... Among the recent disruptions, an Aug. 6 fire at a Chevron Corp. refinery in Richmond that left one of the region's largest refineries producing at a reduced capacity, and a Chevron pipeline that moves crude oil to Northern California also was shut down. Exxon Mobil Corp. said a refinery in Torrance returned to normal operations Friday after the power failure Monday disrupted production for most of the week. State officials said with the refinery coming back online, prices should start falling. Gasoline inventories in California, however, are still at their lowest point in more than 10 years, a situation made worse by the mandate for the special summer gasoline blend. Few refineries outside the state can make it, meaning there are few outside sources to draw from for help, Cinquegrana said. http://www.foxnews.com/us/2012/10/06/california-could-break-gas-price-record-as-average-soars-to-44-gallon/#ixzz28Yo8GZP9 background on CA refineries - energyalmanac.ca.gov [/quote]
