15 California Energy Commission 12/16/201515 West Coast Foreign Gasoline Imports

16 California Energy Commission 12/16/201516 California Foreign Gasoline Exports 2015 exports have averaged 22.0 TBD vs. 27.1 TBD during 2014. 98.6 percent of shipments originated from Northern California during 2015.

17 California Energy Commission 12/16/201517 Pacific Northwest Foreign Gasoline Exports 2015 exports have averaged 16.5 TBD vs. 22.9 TBD during 2014.

18 California Energy Commission Fuels-Under-the-Cap (FUTC) Tracking 12/16/201518 Fuels-Under-the-Cap regulation went into effect January 1, 2015 The Oil Price Information Service (OPIS) calculates a value for the FUTC obligation each business day, California Cap-at-the-Rack (CAR) Assessment valuation uses price of carbon x carbon intensity of the transportation fuel Winter CARB reformulated gasoline with 10 percent ethanol Summer CARB reformulated gasoline with 10 percent ethanol CARB diesel fuel Majority of fuel providers have elected to use the daily OPIS CAR calculation for inclusion in their bills of lading at the distribution terminal Either as a line item or embedded in the price Some marketers are calculating their own FUTC assessment and including in the overall price of the fuel

23 California Energy Commission Retail Fuel Price Tracking Observations 12/16/201523 Gasoline From December 31, 2014 to December 15, 2015 the gap between the California retail gasoline price and other Western states has ranged between an increase of 1.5 to 23.6 cents per gallon The calculated FUTC assessment by OPIS has averaged 10.2 cents per gallon over the same period and lies within the range of retail price differential change Even greater differentials are attributed to increased tightness in the California gasoline market caused by refinery issues - crude oil prices have also rebounded and stabilized but are not a contributing factor to the retail price differential Diesel Fuel From December 31, 2014 to December 15, 2015 the gap between the California retail diesel fuel price and other Western states has ranged between a decrease of 1.3 and an increase of 18.9 cents per gallon The calculated FUTC assessment by OPIS has averaged 13.0 cents per gallon over the same period and lies within the range of retail price differential change
