Gas prices have already shot up to over $4 per gallon.
And now another refinery fire here in Southern California could potentially push those prices even higher.
Another fire at a refinery in #Carson. There is still a question as to whether it will lead to even higher gasoline prices. @KNX1070 pic.twitter.com/GEBvHusOWh
— Jon Baird (@KNXBaird) May 3, 2019Experts are predicting that gas prices in California could stay above $4 a gallon after a refinery caught fire for the second time in as many months.
The fire broke out at the Phillips 66 refinery in Carson. The cause of the fire is under investigation.
It is expected to cause already high gas prices to creep even higher.
GasBuddy said this is the first time in years California may see prices jump this high because of refinery issues.
If the refinery fire does affect gas prices, drivers won't see it for several days because of a lag in the system.
