While California gas prices have dropped two cents in the past week, the average for a regular gallon of gasoline in the Golden State is $6.14, which is up 26 cents from where it was a month ago and up $1.22 from a year ago.
After five straight days of declines earlier this week, the national average is once again on its way back up. Today’s national average is a couple cents lower than last week, but with crude oil prices hovering in the $100/barrel range, pump prices remain elevated.
“The national average is about where it was in 2022, the year gas prices hit record highs,” said AAA Mountain West Group spokesperson Doug Johnson. “Travelers are preparing to hit the road in record numbers next week, and drivers will be facing the highest Memorial Day gas prices in four years.”
Well if Newscum wanted to help, he could reduce the taxes/fee per gallon.
0.612 state excise tax, second highest in the USA!
0.10 minimum local sales tax
0.02 Undersground storage tax fee – why do I pay for that as a driver? I don’t store gas under ground!
0.18 Low Carbon Fuel Standard – stupid west coast fee that is suppose to help the environment, really? Another CARB failure!
0.22 cap and Trade
$1.132 a gallon in California Tax.
Federal tax is 0.184.
But people say we should cut the Federal tax on gas … umm, I would rather cut the State Tax.
It’s a plot to push you into EVs if you haven’t noticed. 😎
…suspend Fed & State taxes and the CA special blend …. did you happen to notice the behind the scene pencil magic by Newsom now saying he has closed the budget for the next year or two just as he’s leaving office? How many BILLIONS did he push into the next fiscal year and then into the next year? … kicking that can…..
Make California smoggy again right?
I don’t think so. The smog problem has been fixed. There are more EVs and hybrids on the road than ever. Most of the cars I see on the road are late models with majority built in the last 10 years. In fact many states have relaxed or even retired their smog program due to this. The last true “smog” around here was in 2018 due to wildfires when the air looked like Beijing. California is just delusional that it must have the most tough and draconian smog rules though the state BAR seemed to be wrestling with those in last years rules.
Newsome is pure scum. Well his handlers are he’s just the actor and the face. Pure Gotham Villain. 6 dollar gas wtf?!?! Vote out all Dumbocrats or this will continue til you’re dead.
And why is diesel, more expensive than gasoline ? These politicians are dirty, they know higher diesel prices coverts to higher food cost, which means they collect more money in sales tax, among other things. So they can redistribute the wealth among their friends and families.
I’m sick and tired of being used as a paycheck for the depraved in this jacked up State.
Vote the color of your blood as if your life depends upon it, because it does!!!
