Gas prices are dropping across the country, but not in California.
Gas Buddy’s petroleum analyst says prices are going to go up in California.
Patrick de Haan predicting prices will go up 35-50 cents per gallon in northern California. That’s what he tells McClatchey news.
The national average is down to $3.71 a gallon.
In California it’s 5.39 a gallon. That’s up one dollar from a year ago.
Gas Buddy predicts prices are going back up to about $6 a gallon in California very soon.
De Haan says the issue related to refinery outages in California. It’s related to the amount of gasoline that refineries can produce.
That’s a lot of the reason for the increase in gas prices in California.
