nevada governor champions fair gas prices for consumers in western US

Nevada imports 88% of its fuel from California refineries. Nevada Gov. Joe Lombardo recently toured Chevron's El Segundo Refinery in California. His goal? To learn more about fuel production and Chevron's operations.

Lombardo has recently expressed concern about how California policies affect gas prices in his state. Residents of Nevada and California usually pay a higher price for gas than the national average.

"It's no surprise that California's fuel policies significantly impact the costs and availability of fuel for Nevada's residents and businesses," he said, adding that California's SBX1-2 legislation could further raise gas prices in both states.
