MIAMI, FL (DTN) -- Basis for reformulated gasoline California Air Resources
Board fuel standards tanks Friday in both Los Angeles and San Francisco
gasoline from where it was last seen trading on the day.
February Los Angeles CARBOB regular basis dropped by 23cts to a 26cts premium
to March NYMEX RBOB futures after a trade was reported at that level. San
Francisco CARBOB regular basis dropped in tandem by 25cts to a 40cts premium.

Francisco come with ongoing power failures and flaring events at PBF Energy's
