It's likely to go up on the entire west coast - that will push it up to $4.20 around here.

I remember an investigation the government did a few years ago about price gouging after some natural disaster. It took less than a week to determine there was no price gouging. The government can't decide what to have for lunch in less than a week.

Sounds fishy to me. DONT trust the greedy oil companies.
Notice there is no explanation, not even a vague reference, as to why the price is expected to go up.

Refinery fire could boost gas prices nationwide

$3.99 a gallon at a Valero station nearby, and $4.09 at a Shell station a half-mile away here in LA, and defimnitely heading northward.

Irony, just as they take away the pot dispensaries. I feel for you Cali peeps but you want the cleanest gas in the nation so you pay for it even before the Chevron fire. What's crazy is it's going to go up around the country even though we don't use that gas. And Chevron only supply 16% of the West Coast.

I wish I could understand the market. When crude was around 150/barrel we were paying less per gallon of gas but as of today it's 94/barrel and gas is about 3.50/gallon.
