(Bloomberg) -- Chevron Corp.’s plan to move major maintenance at its San Francisco Bay-area refinery to June from April because of an ongoing labor strike may further exacerbate already-high California fuel prices.
The summer driving season kicks off with the Memorial Day holiday at the end of May. The turnaround at Chevron’s Richmond refinery will start in mid-June and last about 45 days, eating up a chunk of the prime time to sell gasoline.
The timing of the turnaround, which includes the sole crude unit at the 245,300 barrel-a-day refinery, highlights California’s vulnerability to any hiccups in gasoline production.

The country’s average gasoline price has dropped about eight cents over the past week, and about 13 cents over the last two weeks, according to figures from the American Automobile Association (AAA).

Prices for crude oil, from which gasoline is made, have also dropped in recent days. U.S. crude stood at around $95 per barrel on Monday morning, down from as high as $103 per barrel a week ago and even higher in late March.
