The California government openly boycotted Chevron due to excessive pricing.

California Governor Gavin Newsom and his office have publicly urged residents to avoid filling up at Chevron gas stations during the holiday weekend due to soaring oil prices. The Governor's office released a statement on social media platforms, stating that unbranded gas stations receive fuel from the same refineries, storage tanks, and pipelines as well-known brand products, and meet the same California clean standards. The statement criticized major oil companies for profiting from geopolitical conflicts and urged consumers not to overpay for brand premiums. In response, Chevron has recently posted notices at its gas stations in California blaming high oil prices on the state government's carbon reduction and climate policies.
