And on top of that, California charges sales tax on gasoline.

So, Calif. drivers pay the federal gas tax, the existing state gas tax, the new 12 cent gas tax, a variable carbon tax, and sales tax when buying gas.

How much can you tax one product???

I believe the Sales Tax is ON TOP of the other Taxes.

If the Gasoline costs $2.00 a Gallon, the Sales Tax where I live would be about $.16 a Gallon.

Add the Federal and State Gas Taxes that inflate the cost to $2.70 a Gallon and the additional Sales Tax would be about $.20 a Gallon.

Every penny counts.

The State of CA is making more of a profit on Gasoline than the Companies who produce it.

Beverage container deposits (CRV) are taxed but that tax is not refunded upon recycling.
