Chevron has warned Californians about soaring gas prices and declining oil production, urging Governor Gavin Newsom to declare a state of emergency. The average price of gas in California has reached $5.831 per gallon, significantly higher than the national average of $3.983. Factors contributing to this increase include the war in Iran, seasonal transitions to summer-blend gasoline, refinery maintenance, and high taxes. California's energy policies are criticized for prioritizing climate agendas over affordable energy.
""California has had, I think, very poor energy policy. They've put a climate agenda ahead of reliable and affordable energy, and the consequences of that are that energy in California - any form of it - is unaffordable.""
""Gas prices are climbing as refineries undergo maintenance ahead of the switch to summer-blend fuel. The unknown is how geopolitical tensions between the US and Iran will continue to impact crude oil prices.""
