Here’s reason number one.
"There is no identifiable evidence to justify these premium prices," Yep... None at all. Not the insane enviro regs, not the crazy tax levels, not the $15 min wage and other mandates.
No reason at all....
Hey Gavin! Look in the mirror!
Here’s reason number one.
CALIFORNIA TAXES, DUMBASS!
Reason #1: special blend gas.
Reason #2: high cost of real estate
Reason #3: high cost of environmental compliance
Hey Gavin, I just named 3 off the top of head.
What’s CA State gas tax, something like 47 cents? Just drop it to match the Federal gas tax and there’s most of that 30 cents the nitwits are going to spend a few million looking for.
In Canada, 80% of the price of gas is tax. Oil companies only have about 35 cents to play with and make a profit with.

Next they will want to regulate the price of lettuce. It’s called COMPETITION. Let them charge whatever they want. When people buy less, the price will go down.
Hi.
Gavin please, even the democrats in CA know why they are paying $4 per gallon.
You don’t need your corrupt AG to investigate.

Stupid is SUPPOSED to hurt, ClownBoy.
Let me take a swag at why gas is higher in CA than elsewhere. It costs more to refine it there due to restrictive regulations. It costs more to bring it into the state, from a fees/permit standpoint. It costs more to store it due to stricter environmental regulations. It costs more to transport- regulations again, even on the types of trucks that can operate in state. Operating costs of running a station are higher, from basic taxes, to minimum wage, to outright gas tax. I’ve probably missed a few factors but I’m sure the leftists will ignore all of these and blame “big oil.”
“will handle accordingly.”
They got money we need it!
This clown should open an investigation as to why his a$$hola stinks.
The roads are crap and this jerk diverts funds to housing, feeding and educating ILLEGAL ALIENS. I HOPE HE BURNS IN HELL FOR ETERNITY.
When a person - NOT in CA-CA land - fills up his/her gas tank, gasses escape from the fuel filler (where the gas cap goes) as the liquid gasoline enters the tank.
These gasses are, by law, captured and sucked into a filtering/collector in CA-CA land instead of just escaping.
Filters cost money to change, vacuum pumps need to be kept working. CA-CA has heavy fines for non/improper compliance.
Why is fuel so expensive?
REGULATION!
I suspect that he’s simply trying to buy time with this ‘investigation’. After all, rising gasoline prices are LOVED by Leftists.
ROTFLMAO!!!!!!!!!
