I wonder if the airlines have already adopted the technique they used in 3rd world countries - you don’t fly into CA without enough fuel on board to fly out again...

I’m sure that they’ve worked out the numbers and if it makes economic sense, they will do it. Of course, this decreases the fuel efficiency of the airplanes, causing more fuel to be burned, while decreasing the revenue to California. Another fine example of how government intervention in the economy can help.
i don’t know about planes but a 18 wheeler still has to pay the tax on fuel he would have burned.
