West Coast Gasoline Premium Widens on Refinery Maintenance

Bloomberg -- Jan. 30 (Bloomberg) -- The premium for California-blend gasoline in Los Angeles strengthened amid maintenance at West Coast refineries that may crimp supplies.

Carbob increased 0.5 cent to a premium of 9 cents a gallon against gasoline futures traded on the New York Mercantile Exchange at 4:05 p.m. East Coast time, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.

Chevron Corp. said in a notice with California regulators last week that it would flare gases at its refinery in El Segundo, California, today through Feb. 2.
