Still haven`t figured out California is a special case for gasoline prices?

[I[t appears that the recent price spike is attributable to three main
factors:
1. An increase in global crude oil prices.
2. Refinery maintenance events causing decreases in supply that refiners
did not adequately prepare for by increasing inventories and imports, and
3. An unusual spot market transaction that has had an outsized impact on
gas prices.
...Third, on Friday, September 15, 2023, an unusual transaction took
place on the California spot market that caused the price of gasoline to
increase by nearly $0.50 per gallon on the spot market, which ultimately
gets passed on to consumers at the pump... As the market is structured,
the spot market price impacts a large volume of sales statewide at the
bulk, rack, and retail levels. It is not an exaggeration to say that one
trade likely cost California drivers many millions of dollars at the pump.
End quote.
Unless Joe made that transaction, he`s off the hook. Blame the usual
"down for maintenance" gaming of the market (we had that with Texas
electricity this summer), Putin, and a spot-market payday.

The back of your envelope is heard from again. Maybe there`s plenty of
real estate available where you already park your car at work or in your
garage.
