As the weather heats up and drivers head to the pump this month, they may notice a bit of sticker shock at the pump. On Thursday, April 18, the average price of a gallon of unleaded gas was $5.45 in California compared to a month ago when the statewide average was around $4.90, according to AAA.
California’s prices still remain high compared to the national average of $3.67 per gallon. There are several factors causing this disparity, but according to Patrick De Haan, head of petroleum analysis at GasBuddy, the price hike is mostly due to refinery maintenance and switching to a summer blend of gasoline.
“California is relatively on its own when it comes to gasoline supply because it has its own blend of CARB-mandated fuel, whereas the rest of the country defaults to the EPA,” De Haan explains. “The problem right now with California is the supply of CARB-mandated gasoline has been plummeting down 27 percent in the last four weeks. That is attention-grabbing.”
