The Attorney General of California is looking into this as well:

Companies are willing to send specially formulated gas to California because they can charge $x for it, compared to only 5/7x in Georga. If prices in Georgia go up to $x, then the price in California will have to rise or no one will be willing to expend the extra funds and effort to make special California gas.
