Governor Gavin Newsom has ordered state officials to lift restrictions on producing cheaper winter blends of gasoline to slow the steep increase in the price of unleaded at the pump.
"California is currently experiencing tight gasoline supplies that are causing dramatic spikes in prices consumers must pay," Newsom wrote."Gas prices in the State are approaching record highs. If this situation continues it may cause unacceptable price impacts for consumers and small businesses, significant economic disruption, and serious harm to public safety and welfare."
Newsom's order comes as prices at the gas pumps across throughout the state have surged once again to over $6 for a gallon of regular unleaded. "In light of the dramatic increase in gas prices that California is experiencing, we should not wait until the end of the month to start distributing or to ramp up production of our winter-blend gasoline," Newsom's statement read."Allowing refiners to make an early transition to winter-blend gasoline could quickly increase full supply and provide a much needed safety valve with minimal air quality impacts.
