A man pumps gas at a Chevron gas station in San Francisco, Tuesday, Aug. 7, 2012. A major fire at one of the country’s biggest oil refineries will help trigger a rise in oil and gas prices in California and elsewhere on the West Coast, analysts say. The fire, which sent plumes of black smoke over the San Francisco Bay area and scores of people to hospitals with breathing problems, erupted Monday evening in the massive Chevron refinery in this city about 10 miles northeast of San Francisco. Pump prices in California and elsewhere on the West Coast will head up, and will soon average more than $4 per gallon, says Tom Kloza, chief oil analyst at Oil Price Information Service.
