  1. It's supply and demand. We are down to about 17 refineries in California (Texas, with a smaller population has close to 30). Half of them are offline all the time because they are ancient. Mostly from the 1930s and 1950s, haven't built a new one since the 1970s. Then we impose far more regulations and require the ridiculous "summer blend" switch over to further dilute supply. We've also waged war on in-state independent truckers to deliver the gas. Oh, and around a $1.80/gallon in taxes and "fees" from various propositions we have passed in this state. The gas price crisis in California is mostly self-inflicted by our incompetent state government.
