Not buying this. It'd been widely reported that California has different requirements for fuel than most of the rest of the states, so, there's probably a bit extra that goes into refinery costs in addition to your calculation.
- jjeaff 7y agoThere is quite a bit more refinery costs. But it's not just the cost to produce it, it's the fact that producing California has requires special plant configurations. So even a surplus of gas in Texas may not affect CA supply. There are sometimes shortages of the CA approved gas, thus causing price spikes.
