95 miles NW of Quitaque, TX | Does that number include the two refineries that quit producing in CA in the last 5-6 months.
Several major California oil refineries have recently closed or are slated for closure due to regulatory pressures, high operating costs, and shifts to renewable fuels, reducing the state's refining capacity by over 15%. Key closures include the Phillips 66 Los Angeles refinery in Wilmington (closed late 2025/early 2026) and the Valero Benicia refinery (scheduled to close April 2026).

I forgot this little change in refinery capacity in CA. These cannot produce gasoline now for the consumer.
Several major California oil refineries have converted or are in the process of converting to produce green (renewable) diesel, aiming to reduce emissions by using waste fats and vegetable oils instead of crude oil. Key projects include the Phillips 66 Rodeo Renewed project, Marathon’s Martinez facility, and the Bakersfield Renewable Fuels refinery.
