The price of gas is heavily tied to the price of crude oil. Refining, tax, and marketing make up less than half of what goes into it. While CA does have the highest gas tax in the country; it’s only 25% of the avg gas tax worldwide. I think its 18 cents per gal right now. Point being; dont blame the government, blame the greedy gas corporations! It’s their refinery that blew up and they are going to pass those costs on to you. If it really does go up to $9 like maga would claim; you knoe who to blame.

Californias excise tax is 30 cents and additional tax 05 cents, Federal excise tax is 18.4 cents per gallon for a total of 53.4 cents. For perspective, the average cost of gas is $4.12 and the cost of government is 53.4 cents. California has the highest gas tax in the country.
