Method, motive, opportunity!
By the time you are reading this, the price of gas in California will have gone up another dollar per gallon.

And yet not one word about the refinery fire in Tulsa.
By the way, fires in refineries take place far more than you might thing. Most of them involve a cracking unit and not a tank of crude oil. Cracking unit fires are terrible, but they don't give off a lot of smoke. Crude oil gives off LOTS of black smoke and a crude tank can take a few days to burn off. They can't be put out, but usually the oil boils and the fire just runs out of oil to burn. In other words, there is not a correct ratio of oil and oxygen to support combustion, so the fire just goes out. And when a tank catches on fire the oil inside is pumped out so there will be less to burn. It can be pumped to another tank or to another tank farm. This might cause a spike in prices for a few days, but the other refineries will crank up production to cover it and then prices will go down. Why would they let additional demand for their product go to waste? |

California is unique in that there is only one line connecting it to the rest of the country. It is a line that runs from LA to El Paso and it pumps gas TO El Paso and AWAY from California.
So while this might raise prices in California I don't see it raising prices in the rest of the US. There was once a line that ran refined products from the Gulf to El Paso, but I think it was converted last year to run crude from Midland to the Gulf. |
