[quote:Anonymous Coward 52154903:MV8yOTAwNjczXzUxMTE3OTcyXzRENTkwRUU4] Refinery Problems (most likely). Because of "Clean Air" requirements Southern California uses a SPECIAL blend of gasoline not used anywhere else in the United States. Because of that Southern California can NOT import gasoline made to the standards, even the normal "Clean Air" standards that the rest of the US uses. Only a few refineries, mostly if not all physically located on the west coast, make that type of gasoline. When a refinery in California has a problem and has to stop production (fire, equipment breakage, etc.) it isn't long before there is a huge shortage of gasoline that can actually be sold in Southern California. Southern California refinery problem ... > shortage of California usable gasoline ... > supply demand shortfall on the supply side ... > price hike that cuts usage until the supply issue resolves itself. Chicago sometimes runs into the same problem, but with Chicago those in the burbs can actually drive to just outside the area where their "special blend" of gasoline is required to be sold and fill up with the standard gasoline blend that is sold in most of the country, and then drive home so the price spikes don't get to be ridiculous.

Orange County wakes up to shock of $4.35 and climbing: Gas prices soar at independent stations
Orange County motorists blinked Friday and saw gas prices top $4 a gallon at some of their neighborhood gas stations.
At OC Gas on Grand Avenue in Santa Ana, prices shot up to $4.35 from $3.27 on Wednesday.
Frank Zamarripa of Santa Ana was shocked when he saw the prices. The 78-year-old’s daily drive involves shuttling his great-grandchildren around town.
“The price went up real bad. Whose fault is it? Let’s blame somebody,” he joked. “What can we do?”
