Whitman School Professor Explains Bump At the Pump

Patrick Penfield, assistant professor of supply chain practice in the Whitman School, was interviewed by WSYR TV for the story “Bump in gas prices explained.”

In the story, Penfield explains that “the biggest reason [for the price increase] is that refineries shutdown and they switch twice a year, from a summer blend to a winter blend…that’s what we’re seeing right now.”
