California taxes on a gallon of gas

State excise tax 39.5 cents per gallon
Federal excise tax 18.4 cents per gallon
10 cents per gallon for cap and trade fee
State/Local Sales Tax 7.5% to 10% depending on area

So that’s 67.9 cents per gallon tax, before the 7.5% to 10% sales tax.

I live in California, also.

and diesel taxes that truckers pay when hauling food , etc. resulting in higher food & other prices.

So you can figure in California, with the current price of gas, about $1.00 per gallon is tax.
