Gasoline is necessary for the lives of many Americans in carrying out many of their daily tasks. In 2018, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA), Americans consumed 142.86 billion gallons or 3.4 billion barrels of finished motor gasoline. For the most populous state in the U.S., California, the financial burden of purchasing gasoline per gallon compared to the national average is mind-numbing. As of 2019, the average California price per gallon of all grades of gasoline was $3.677, while the national average was $2.691. This research intends to get to the root cause of the discrepancy between the gasoline prices in California and the national average through analyzing the supply chain distribution of fuel in California. Since 2012, the United States has produced almost double the gas than any other country in the world, yet the prices for California continue to rise. Discounting the fact that taxes influence the price, the analysis will be adjusted based on a tax-free system to compare the prices of gasoline fully. By use of Supply Chain Analysis, we will pinpoint the demand and where to optimally deliver the gasoline tankers to effectively lower the price of gas in California to align more with the national average.
