California gas prices expected to jump even higher as Valero closes refinery

California’s already sky-high gas prices are expected to surge after Valero abruptly shuttered its Benicia oil refinery amid a spiraling “oil crisis,” a new report claims. The Benicia refinery began shutting down on Saturday, four months earlier than planned, a former Valero manager told the California Globe Tuesday. The closure will cause the state’s already sky-high gas prices to soar, a new report said.
