HUGE CA Gas Price Spike Predicted End of April/May - Here's Why

from News For Reasonable People · host Sean Reynolds

California is facing a potential gasoline supply crisis due to refinery closures, declining in-state crude oil production, and disruptions in imports from Asia and the Middle East. Inventories are at historic lows, and the state's fuel system has minimal resilience. The war in the Middle East has disrupted crude oil flows, further exacerbating the situation. With California heavily reliant on imported gasoline, particularly from Asian refiners, any curtailment of exports will have a significant impact on the state's supply. As refinery throughput declines and gasoline imports drop, prices are expected to increase. Californians should prepare for potential physical shortages and higher prices at the pump as early as May. The state's energy policies are creating a disaster.
