Supply and demand! The oil companies have everyone by the [jump2][jump2] and as long as we continue to buy low MPG SUVs and sport cars they're not going to budge. They are in the business to make money just like the next guy.

Shell may have determined that it is cheaper for them to buy from another supplier versus process it in the Bakerfield refinery. It costs a lot of money to continually upgrade a refinery to keep up with the ever changing fuel regulations in CA.
