FRESNO, Calif. (KMPH) -
You will soon be paying even more for a gallon of gasoline thanks to a fire at Bay Area oil refinery.
Firefighters finally doused the fire that broke out at the Chevron refinery in Richmond Monday.
The fire also shut off the refinery's production of about 150-thousand barrels of gasoline a day for West Coast drivers.
That's equal to about 16 percent of our daily gasoline consumption, experts say, and there's no easy way to replace it.
Worse still, no one knows when it will be up and running again.
Because of that, analysts say, expect to start paying anywhere from five to up to twenty cents more per gallon for gas starting any day now.
