The true taxes and fees on a gallon of gas in California is $1.19!

Yes the 60 cents is the California excise tax, which increases automatically every July. The 1.21 is the total tax, including the 18.4 cents federal tax which every other state pays as well.

They’re in a quandary of what to do? Prices are so high because of excess profits?

I’d say the ‘excess profits’ are the TAXES that California imposes on gas, and on the petroleum industry.

I’ve pointed out that profits on gas are about 5%.
Apple’s profits on their phones are probably 40%
