- Pump prices in the state are rising again on supply worries
- Heat, power issues can cause problems for refineries
A dangerous heat wave is raising the risk of blackouts in the state on top of perennial drought and fires. And now, after enduring record pump prices in June that were much higher than the national average, Californians face surging gasoline costs again at the end of the summer travel season when they typically fall.
Pump prices jumped by more than 5 cents a gallon overnight in San Francisco and Sacramento, according to auto club AAA, and record wholesale premiums signal they could rise further. At the state level, retail prices average $5.306 a gallon, almost 3 cents more than the previous day.
I feel bad for the people who didn't vote for the crap-tastic politicians they're saddled with.
