California is importing gasoline from the Bahamas, and other foreign counties. This is an example of how the Democrats are making life cheaper for the working man.

Gasoline-starved California is turning to fuel from the Bahamas

US supplies of gasoline are being shipped out of the country to travel thousands of miles via the Bahamas before finally ending up in California, a state battling shrinking fuelmaking capacity and high pump prices.

Shipments on the circuitous route are increasing. California imported more gasoline in November than ever before, with more than 40% coming from the Bahamas. The lengthy journey adds another layer of cost to California’s already expensive gasoline market. Yet the phenomenon isn’t likely to disappear soon, thanks to a combination of disappearing oil refineries, a lack of interstate pipelines and a loophole in a 106-year-old maritime law.

phillips 66 shut down its refinery last year 139k barrels per day came out of that.

EV's made it (according to them, unprofitable to keep open). Gavin offered no incentives to stay the course. Without the bahama gasoline prices would go up more. Poor management by the Newsom administration .
