Good. Progressivism has consequences. Should fit in well with the highest amount of poverty in America.

Gas prices in California are the result of policy.


Or, you know, the prices are up due to all of the factors listed in the OP like damaged refineries and a lot of refinery maintenance.

I'll bet you can cross the state line and find cheaper fuel

What does that tell you?

California always has the highest gas prices. Mire than Alaska and Hawaii where shipping costs are exaggerated.

You make money off of Cali raising taxes on gas and regulations that limit refining capabilities on the west coast? How does one get into that market?

GasBuddy also notes that several California refineries are in the middle of planned maintenance.


And they ALWAYS do maintenance during this change over time to the 'summer blend' to help jack the price up. And yes, the CA gas taxes are some of the highest in the nation.

I mean I paid $3.03 for 93 the other day and was trying to figure out if gas prices were starting to act like crawfish prices.

The fuel policy in California is driven by progressive misunderstanding of economics, not who's in office in DC

Sounds like you need a civics class

For the record, The State gas tax rose 12 cents a gallon 6 months ago, and is increasing 5.6 % more in July thanks to Democrat Party support. So this just gets better in Summer.

The burden for this of course falls on low income people. But everybody in Cali is rich, right ? Wrong, California actually has NINETEEN percent of its population living BELOW the poverty line. Not only the highest total by far but also the highest rate. Around eight MILLION people. One in three people receiving welfare in America is in One state- California even though they only have 12 % of the population.Oops.

But at least they have cheap housing, right ? Yeah, median housing in greater Southern California is only 535k. But at least public education is awesome and they have a handle on Illegal Immigration, right?

All I can think is heavy in green energy.

Assume it links to gas prices somehow.

California is the Pro-Gasoline state but what they really need to grow their economy is to increase the gasoline tax by a mere .60 cents a gallon so the state can build their own Refinery.

The smart legislators in Louisiana are only proposing a .25 cent per gallon increase this session or a measly $5 dollars per fill-up for those who have 20 gallon tanks to balance our budget and build a road.

I wish the same would happen in Louisiana.

I don't doubt politicians would steal it, but there is little choice for fixing infrastructure other than raising taxes. And gas tax is the best way to do it.
