Run your vehicles on compressed natural gas or propane.
To: Citizen Tom Paine
Natural gas and propane are fossil fuels.
Compressed air gets compressed by using electricity generated by fossil fuels in California, since California has no nuclear plants.
To: E. Pluribus Unum
And then where will the money come from to pay for road and bridge maintenance?
So 1/2 the gasoline used = double the price

Run all those illegals out of the state and that should save 50% (or better) on gasoline and other stuff too.

Kick all the illegals out. Bet that would put a dent in it.

Of course we can do it. We’ve done it before. In 1990, a ZEV regulation was written that required that two percent of vehicles for sale in California in 1998 and ten percent of vehicles for sale in California in 2003 be zero emission vehicles, such as hydrogen fuel cell and battery electric vehicles.
Just look how well that worked. Legislature and regulators waved their magic wands and, PRESTO!, instant boom of ZEVs.

Seriously? By 2025 cars will need to be at 54.5 MPG?
ROFLMAO! It’s 2015! ‘Scientists’ don’t even have FLYING CARS for us! That PIG CIC is livin’ in La-La Land.

Yes, get all the illegals off the road and back to where they came from and gas use will be vastly reduced.

No problem. Obama promised to give California to Iran in 10 years.

This is insanity. All because of the absurd belief, with NO evidence, that 0.04 percent CO2 in the atmosphere is going to turn us unto Venus. Meanwhile the elite poo-bahs promulgating these predictions of doom continue to fly around the world in their petroleum-powered private jets. I’M TIRED OF THIS BULL$HIT!!

When fuel mileage goes up, people drive more, so I would say no.

Can California really cut gasoline use by 50 percent? Is this a trick question? California can do it with ease. They just have to destroy the ability of Californians to buy gasoline. There are a bazillion ways to do that.
The outcome won't be happy. It can be done.
I'm pulling for them. It will reduce demand and make it marginally cheaper for me to drive.

When you are unemployed you use less gas.

California is a Lefthand-Righthand state. The left hand kills all attempts to build a new power station, but the right hand bitches when CA is faced with rolling brown outs because they've outstripped power supplies. The left hand hugs trees and promotes electric cars, but the right hand representatives of CA tell Tesla they can't sell their cars directly to consumers. The left hand has succeeded in passing laws that end up requiring refineries to produce 32 different grades of distillate fuels in the state, while the right hand bitches about high gas prices.
Clearly a cake-and-eat-it-too situation in CA.
