Isn't it more of a state thing than Federal?
California works hard at keeping gas prices high, and are pretty successful at it. I would guess that building a new refinery there would be nearly impossible.
I'm honestly not sure - I assume the states would have a huge say in it, but given our... changing way of doing business, I'd imagine the Gulf and Plains states would be totally on board with more refineries. Presumably the west coast states would be against connecting to the pipeline network.

Safeway in Aberdeen is $4.09, while Costco in Nor-Cal's Central Valley is $3.69-$3.89

Something is wrong with the world when CA's gas prices are lower than WA's.

Hasn't changed much here. Safeway is still $4.07. The Shell station here in OS is $4.99.

Around 1.37/litre for regular here. Have not filled up in like 2 weeks even after going to my property twice. About due though. New truck seems to be better on gas than old one. Might just be a bigger tank too... will find out when I fill up.

Kind of OT for the thread but did you ever get your L2 EVSE installed? If I remember right you went with a ChargePoint unit correct?
Yup it's up and running! I can charge for "free" at work but if I'm home and need to juice up I got 10.5kW at the ready!

To keep my comments gasoline-centric, for the BEV curious my cost-basis efficiency for home charging is about 95MPGe assuming $3.00 gasoline ($0.113/kWh).

Which coincidentally, gas right now regular is 2.99 at my local station across the street
