Taxes are a big part yes. But other states have taxes as well.
Why are California's gas prices so much more? There it is. Explained for all to see.
The politicians keep getting complaints from their constituents about the price of gasoline in California being so much higher than the res of the country.
So, the Leftards in Californias legislature cant say to voters that it is their fault for passing all kinds of laws that make the cost of gasoline in California half again more than most of the rest of the country.
What then does the California politician say to the voters question?
I dont know, it must be the evil oil company slipping in some kind of a surcharge unbeknownst to me. Ill ask the attorney general to investigate.
The reality is California wants to have gasoline their way. California wants to dictate to the oil companies how their gasoline will be formulated differently than all the other states. So, naturally it is going to COST MORE.
Why take responsibility when you can obfuscate and delay making an answer.
Right now, Kalifornia has dropped into 2nd place, as good ol' Pennsylvania pulled into the lead, thanks to our coalition of Rats'n'Rinos.
But it looks like Kalifornia will regain their no. 1 status this year with a healthy 7.5 cent increase in July.
