For example‚ the price of gas in California is about 10% higher than the national average. California is one of the largest states in the USA in population and land. Californians choose to drive everywhere and mostly alone‚ causing the demand for petroleum in the state to rise immensely which increases the supply. The Law of Supply states that the amount of product supplied increases as the prices increase as long as other factors are constant‚ and vice versa‚ if supplies decrease so will the prices

lubricants are as follows: • Excellent lubricity: The lubricity of the biobased lubricants is about 2 to 4 times their petroleum based corresponding lubricants. This reflects in the reduced mechanical losses and energy saving in the range from 5% to 15% of the equipment operation. • Higher viscosity index: The viscosity does not vary with temperature as much as the petroleum based lubricants. This makes bio-lubricants suitable for high temperature applications‚ typically 250°C or above. • Lower
