And add on to that the 7.25 to 9.25% California sales tax and it raises about 30 cents or more per gallon depending on the price at the pump.

Plus the sales tax not only is on the price of gasoline, but on the other taxes already added in. Highly illegal.

Actually, that was inclusive of the sale tax applied to gasoline in California.

The Gasoline Sales Tax was revised to 2.25% not long ago.

GasBuddy.com shows the excise tax to be 35.3¢/gal and other taxes to equal 15.2¢/gal to include sales tax. “Other Taxes” columns include a 2.25% state sales tax for gasoline and at least a 1.25% local sales tax for various counties in the state for diesel. The tax rate applied is a weighted average based upon county populations. A 2 cpg state UST fee is also included.

Because of the percentage basis of California's gasoline taxes, there is some variation between sources depending on the date they calculated the tax.
