I was on sixth street in Austin, TX partying when it turned over. I tried to call my parents but my phone and all my buddies' phones were not working. Gave me a little scare until I realized everyone was trying to call at the same time.

Yes, California does not allow refiners to blend in lower priced blend stocks to make their gasoline. This makes the California gasoline much more expensive.

Because crude oil is a global commodity. Since Europe cannot buy Russian crude oil anymore they are buying US, Canadian and South American crude oil which makes it more expensive for the US refiners to buy their crude oil. Supply and demand. Send the crude oil is more expensive for the US refiners the final products, gasoline diesel jet etc are also more expensive.
