Multiple reasons
Gas tax in Cali is high
They have strict gas standards for refineries to meet
If Cali shortages happen refineries outside of state can't send in supply since they don't meet Cali standards
I believe Cali has 17 refineries. 6 of those have been down for normal fall scheduled maintenance or unplanned downtime. Supply is very tight.
Just like there is a "Porsche tax" there is a Cali tax.
I am sure there are other causes.
