Gaswizard.ca founder Dan McTeague told Global News B.C. that there was already a tight supply for gasoline on the West Coast of the U.S. before the Phillips 66 refinery in Ferndale, Washington, was shut down for maintenance.
It has a refining capacity of 16,590,000 litres of gasoline per day.
There's only one oil refinery in southwestern B.C. The Burnaby Refinery was purchased by Parkland in 2017 and refines 8,745,000 litres per day—slightly more than half of what's produced at the Phillips 66 facility.

Refinery shutdown. This is what happens when you have demand and no supply.
