Isnt the reason gas is more expensive in California mainly because EVERYTHING is more expensive in California? Like real estate and food and parts and … everything. If someone is to build a gas station it's more expensive than in Terre Haute Indiana, right. Its a business and they have to charge the customer more to pay the costs. Why blame the government? I don't get it. Sure the taxes are higher but that's a small part of the higher cost. Right?Bro, I FEEL your pain!!! I also live in So. Cal. and for the life of me, CAN'T ABIDE getting ripped off! I travel to Utah a few times a month and their gas prices-two weeks ago was $2.58/gal most everywhere and cheaper at Costco!!! I HATE the lefty run gov't. of this state!!! It's disgusting what they've done here!!! Ok, I'm off my soapbox now. Sorry, I have NO magic pill for you other than doing as I will-MOVE to A MORE SANE STATE!!! I drive my 2000 EB as little as possible for now.
And roads and bridges cost money. They don't appear magically. Why not tax gas to pay for that? Do people think its all free or just somebody else should pay for it? Why not make the vehicles that use the infrastructure pay up for that infrastructure?
