CA, AZ, NV gas prices continue to spike after investigators blocked refinery repairs

  • California gas prices have increased by an average of $0.38 per gallon after a fire shut down the Martinez refinery on February 1, which produces 10% of the state's gasoline capacity, according to the California Division of Petroleum Market Oversight.
  • The Martinez refinery operator does not have an estimate for the shutdown duration, which may influence gas prices in California, Arizona, and Nevada that depend on California fuel supplies.
  • Governors Katie Hobbs and Joe Lombardo expressed concern that increased regulations would lead to higher fuel costs and supply shortages for their states.
  • Doug Shupe, a spokesperson for Auto Club of Southern California, stated that prices typically rise at this time of year due to planned maintenance and the switch to summer fuel blends, but recent increases are not as significant as usual.
