Line chart showing monthly California imports of gasoline and blending components made from Russian crude oil, from February 2023 through December 2025. The y-axis shows barrels imported, ranging from 0 to over 1.6 million. Import volumes start modestly around 300,000 to 600,000 barrels in early 2023, drop to around 200,000 barrels in mid-2023, then generally trend upward. A notable spike occurs in January 2024 at roughly 950,000 barrels. After fluctuating between 200,000 and 800,000 barrels through most of 2024, imports surge dramatically in February 2025 to approximately 1.74 million barrels — the highest point on the chart. Volumes remain elevated but volatile through the rest of 2025, with a secondary peak around 1.18 million barrels in May 2025, before declining to roughly 270,000 barrels in December 2025. Three shaded regions highlight periods corresponding to California gasoline price spikes. The chart credits Aarón Cantú at Capital & Main and was created with Datawrapper.
