California Faces Rising Gasoline Prices, Division of Petroleum Market Oversight Raises Concerns
Portfolio Pulse from Vandana Singh
The director of California's Division of Petroleum Market Oversight (DPMO), Tai Milder, has raised concerns over rising gasoline prices in a letter to Governor Gavin Newsom. The DPMO's review of recent data revealed that some refineries failed to maintain adequate gasoline levels or import enough fuel to compensate for production shortfalls during the summer. This has contributed to the surge in prices and planned and unplanned refinery outages. The rising cost of crude oil, driven by Russia's invasion of Ukraine, has also contributed to the price increase.
