    Texas produces about 41% of the U.S.'s oil. California tops out at 1.8% and has been steadily declining

    Scale makes the price difference.

    Texas also holds a third of the country 's refining capacity, California only 8%

    Louisiana refines twice as much oil as California and they have almost $6 a gallon diesel too.
