-- 路透社週四報道稱，加州汽油庫存已降至歷史最低水平，分析師警告稱，中東衝突對該州燃料供應的影響在未來幾週可能會更加嚴重。 報告引述美國汽車協會的數據稱，加州汽油價格也大幅上漲，達到每加侖5.86美元，全美平均價格為每加侖4.09美元。自伊朗戰爭爆發以來，加州油價已上漲26%。 由於加州沒有接入美國能源管道網絡，因此依賴從亞洲進口成品油，而亞洲又高度依賴中東國家的原油供應，這使得加州尤其脆弱。 路透社通報稱，加州能源委員會表示，正與該州的煉油廠保持定期溝通，以確保燃料供應充足。 截至4月10日的四周內，加州汽油庫存平均為944萬桶，創下能源委員會自2005年開始統計以來的最低水準。 由於稅收以及為應對洛杉磯曾經常見的霧霾而研發的獨特汽油配方，加州的汽油價格通常高於美國其他地區。 路透社報道稱，南加州大學教授米舍（Michael Mische）的分析指出，中東原油出口減少對加州最嚴重的影響尚未顯現。 他寫道，未來兩週汽油進口量將大幅下降，加油站很快就會感受到這項變化。 加州曾經是原油生產大州，但隨著兩家煉油廠的關閉，其煉油能力下降，對原油的依賴程度也隨之降低。 根據路透社報道，美國能源委員會表示，加州煉油廠正在從中東以外的其他地區進口原油和汽油，並表示「我們預計近期不會出現供應挑戰」。 （市場動態新聞來自與全球市場專業人士的對話。這些資訊據信來自可靠來源，但可能包含傳聞和推測。準確性無法保證。）
