It's just bullshit. The tax is for the roads and bridges. The roads are the worst in the country.
you don't drive out of state much then, California roads are not great, but drive in the south if you want to see terrible roads.
@@erikanders3343 I had been to multiple red states and blue states due to military orders. Red states' roads are just as bad but they don't extort you via taxes in the name of "fixing the roads" Can't say that about blue states.
Where I live here in Cali, our roads are well maintained js
lol. If you think California roads are the worse in the country, you haven’t traveled much.
Go to the South, and come back again and say that.
California taxes and fees on vehicles, gas, and tolls is total BS. A vast majority of never goes to maintaining or improving the roads and freeways. So many people's tires get busted and their vehicles damaged due to huge potholes and poor road conditions, and Caltrans has been so corrupt in paying people out it's absurd that when channel 7 called them out on the less than 8% approval claims people made against Caltrans due to the road damaging their vehicles. Californians pay the highest sales tax and registration fees on vehicles, and the highest gas tax, yet our roads are one of the worst and it has to deal with graft and mismanagement. Again, TOTAL BS!!!!!
Vote accordingly in November.
If you evidence of what you proclaim why are you here complaining to strangers? Go on get out there and call them out.
It all goes to roads, by law. There are two audits every year to ensure this. You clearly do not live in California
@@malin7919 They won't. They have the mind virus. They B!tch and complain but they will always vote blue regardless. Just look on how far the SF bay area has fallen since Newsom became governor. The Socialistic Democratic machine has taken full control of California.
@@erikanders3343 still seeing potholes and cracks😂
This is just their way of forcing you to buy an electric car
Gotta love socialist Cali-Mexico.
good
@@user-eh2hj8bx6ithat makes food prices go up.
They force you to buy EVs, which are still expensive and infrastructure for long drive charging. Then they will fine ways to tax your EVs more!
we have the HIGHEST gas prices in the nation, the highest gas tax and yet our roads are terrible and crumbling apart. Why did you all vote not to RECALL Gruesome? Why did you vote that bloke back into office? He appointed all 5 of the PUC official that keep voting for the higher PG&E rates! This guy is the worst!!
It is too much gov. The more regulations a government adds the higher the cost.
Gruesome
Yesterday, I only pay $79.01 for 14.3 gallon tank at $5.49 a 1/9 gallon
Thats nice... I pay... nothing because my solar panels charge my car. go electric not because you want to be green, but because you want to be free from oil execs and middle east princes.
That's nice that you can afford a vehicle that's over 10s to 100s of thousands. The majority living at minimum wage can only afford used petrol cars with a few thousands to hundreds. Essentially punishing those who are poor.
@@vectorphoenix5992 You can buy used or new Nissan Leaf S-$29,280
Mini Hardtop Cooper SE Classic-$31,895
Tesla Model 3-$40,630
Volkswagen ID.4 Standard-$41,160
Need an SUV
Chevrolet Bolt EUV $27,200
2023 Tesla Model Y $43,990
Now the fact that you think its that much just shows how much you live in an information bubble
@@erikanders3343you most likely paid thousands for your panels. I had them in my house in California and they never generated enough electricity to run my house.
@@rw4022 My panels also power my house and I do not have a gas bill. When the power goes out I can keep going for a week on my home battery and I sell the power back to the grid. Its called true freedom.
Also In 6 years its basically paid for itself. As for your experience. You either signed up with a scammer company, your roof was terrible or you are lying.
Dang, less than $3/gallon here in Okla City.
❤ Midwest for life ❤
Lol , $2.84 a gallon in Texas today
Nice job Texas 😊
But it’s Texas, hell no.
@@harlock75 california is garbage. Outside the weather it has nothing going for it. So you enjoy your mild Summer and your $6 gas, your record taxes, homeless, crime, your $3500/month 1000 sq ft box you call apartments, the 52 cent kwh electricity and 1.5 million dollars sheds you call homes.
At least women in Texas can afford to gas up for a long drive to another state for their reproductive health care.
Yeah, but texas also taxes oil taken out of the ground, in California oil companies get to take it for free because we do not tax any extractions.
The economy runs on No. 2 Diesel fuel. How much is a gallon for Diesel fuel today?
2 Diesel Retail Prices is at a current level of 5.155, down from 5.216 last week and up from 4.903 one year ago.
Gas tax to fix your roads so they say. Lmao
It is, the state audits like crazy to make sure its only on the roads
Good thing we have a strong Governer with fiscal oversight and awareness of the economic impact of all his policies and tax increases... oh wait, we don't.
When will California voters vote to save themselves.
Instead of voting in the same people.
Did he just say they will add 50 cents more next year? Wtf California
and another 50 cents the following year.
Also five increases in a row for PG&E utilities. Don’t worry though the rich can afford it.
31 mpg ? older truck are lucky to see half that.
You can fix that
Hahaha,Gavin doing his thing ,fattening his pockets while controlling what everybody else do with their lives.
In an SUV a round trip from SF to LA is over $350 using Super unleaded. I drove my Tesla with free supercharging and my cost was $0. The hotel also offered free charging. If I had taken my 4Runner it would have been cheaper to fly.
Imagine (I know a guy) driving Hummer H2 from the BA to Disneyland. Yike! It hurt!!!
You have a very old tesla
Its why I bought an EV, for get going green I like the freedom of not paying oil companies or middle east princes. My panels charge it up and I can do everything i need to do.
Have you looked at the cost to replace the battery? It’s like $15,000 to $20,000.
@@rw4022 LOL, ok first off the cost to completely replace the entire pack is from $6,500 to $20,000 and falling.
Second that last 25 years. If a battery is within its manufacturer warranty, typically 8 years and 100,000 miles, then you should get a replacement battery at no extra cost.
In general you may have one part of a battery pack fail which costs about $500 to %1000 depending on maker and model. You do recover some of that by selling the batter for recycling of which 95% of it is recyclable to another battery
CA doing it's best to make this a state for the ultra wealthy/ homeless.
This is hardly newsworthy. Gas prices have always gone up prior to Memorial Day. Add to that the mayhem in the Red Sea and it should come as no surprise.
Exactly! Especially Russian oil sneaking cargo ships into other countries to sell their abundant oil
$6/gallon is just normal, lol, no cause for concern guys. Just pay $100 to go to work every 2-3 days, its fine.
@@ffs6158 Yep, it's a real ripoff. Having lived here for 4 decades, and having traveled extensively all across the US, I can tell you that just about everything in California is overpriced. You can go across state line and find the exact same stuff for less. I have long suspected that prices are elevated here just because there is so much money sloshing around. "They can afford it" seems to be the cynical approach. Cheers
Keep voting dem 😂
Time to get a electric scooter 😅
ask Gov. Newsome 😮
They grinning at the fact we pay higher gas prices so that we get fed up and buy EVs. Not gonna happen!!!! 🙅
I'm seeing $2.799/gallon at the cheapest locations here. I drive a Prius Prime, so i don't buy much gasoline :/
I went electric to be free
"The Democrat's have become the party of the elites." ~Chris Hedges
We tried to repeal the gas tax but voters rejected the initiative- Gavin Newsom says”let um eat cake”.
lol, repeal and replace it with what? that money pays for the roads, you gone get roads for free you know?
@erikanders3343 🤡 it's misspent.
Oh look gas companies want more bonuses
Exactly what it’s about
Y'all voted for this
A bit vague about the new carbon tax of 50 cents a gallon -- when does that come into play? That's freaking huge and will really hurt the lower income folks. Not that our government gives a half wit.
Newsomnomics. Recall Newsom again and vote Breed and Nancy Pelosi out of office.
gas prices are set by oil companies and the tax is set by the legislature
Too many goddammm liberals in cali to recall that grease ball
@@josemosqueda3273 No, to many people smell BS when they hear it. a Recall is not a solution its just theater
Also, too many government dependents leach out the hard workers' tax money. That's how they always maintain voting power by keeping them poor with high prices so that they always depend on them instead of seeking out better jobs or jobs at all.
On April 6, 2017, the California State Legislature passed the Road Repair and Accountability Act (RRAA) by a two-thirds margin, raising taxes on gasoline by 12¢ per gallon, taxes on diesel by 20¢ per gallon tax, and it raised annual vehicle registration fees by $25-175. So it was the State Legislature, not Newsom.
I wish i can run faster than cars.
Gas tax hurts the small business. Folks drive less when gas goes up. Thats why Ca is in a deficit. The economy is either stuck in traffic or to broke to go to work. Slavery did not end, it was contracted out to the self employed.
most of the money is always going to bullshit overpriced empty housing buildings around my city
we boston tea partied for less than this BS
No, not only was BTP a protest against taxes, it was also a protest against the quartering of Colonial soldiers. Imagine having a knock at the door and being told that your home will be 'hosting' the King's troops. Meet your new roomies!. Taxation without representation, plus being imposed on like that.
I miss the "when gas hits 3 dollars" jokes in 2015/2016, 3 dollar gas is a dream nowadays
Not a dream in the midwest, that's the current price.
gas was last at 3 in 2006, you need to have your memory checked.
@@erikanders3343 Talk about needing some help...Open gasbuddy, search under area code 73099. $2.89 per gallon right now.
@@mowcowbellthat’s our price in the southeast as well.
HAHAHAHAH😂😂😂😂😂 its under 3.50 here
It was so cheap just a few months ago what happened 😮
Greed
God I wish I could pick up my whole family and get out of this communist hell hole. If I was born in Moscow instead of Concord, I would be better off right now.
bye
Thank you, Democrats! And Republicans!
yee hah!, it's summer's here, gouge the public time again...
You may not like the carbon tax but your kids and grand kids will not like the wildfires, hurricanes, droughts, and other increasing disasters from climate change and the increase to their home insurance even more
It will do nothing except take our money
There is no carbon tax...
Exactly
@@erikanders3343
Look it up
How will taxing us help? You people are mental.
Couldn't agree more. It's California government
Nothing has changed in the price except the greed of billionaires
@erikanders3343 🤡 they are raising taxes. So in Arizona they are greedy? Gas is half the price almost. You people are mental. Government is the problem.
if only they made cars that didn't run on gas
That were affordable for the working poor and retirees.
Hence the reason why California politicians won’t do a thing to reduce gas prices. “LOL, I drive an EV, why don’t you?”
Yeah you see the prices of PGE lately? People need to stop voting for this garbage.
Saying as if they won't raise electric prices as more people start using e cars
@@boostedmaniac problem is more people will vote for it. It's the liberal media telling them how to vote.
Bidenomics with a sprinkle of Newsom….
@@MiMiiViVi Taxes don't go to refiners. Try again.
@@jaytate491 You are wrong in that regard. California is the only state that does not tax extraction. So in Texas their roads are paid largely by taxes on the oil coming out of the ground.
@@erikanders3343the gas tax in California does not go to the refinery.
@@erikanders3343🤡
@@rw4022 Well duh. However refineries pay no taxes at all but can export all the oil extracted and processed in California for a profit.... have you never asked yourself why California has so many operating refiners? No? To busy buying the PR BS on the right to notice this?
Currently, there are 15 refineries in California that produce transportation fuel. They produce 1,734,371 Barrels per day. Richmond and El Segundo being two of the largest.
As of 2022, there are a total of 32 operable oil refineries in Texas. 15 in Louisiana.
By state
Texas ........ 5,975,969
Louisiana ... 2,964,220
California ... 1,734,371
Vast majority of states produce less than 1000.
U.S. ....... Total 17,684,549
There were 124 active oil refineries in the United States as of January 1, 2023
They have you so fooled you never questioned by the poor ill oil companies produce so much oil in horrib 'green' California. So much more that its more than every other state other than Texas and Louisiana.
BS we need to.drill more.
Gas up all over the world, was in 7 countries this pass few months
and mago idiots don't seem to comprehend facts
US countries can't handle CA for gas prices too high in California
California needs to invest in Transit and bike infrastructure again
Behold, we are yet this day in our captivity, where thou hast scattered us, for a reproach and a curse, and to be subject to payments, according to all the iniquities of our fathers, which departed from the Lord our God.
Good thing I vote blue so all that tax money goes straight to saving my environment. Bunch of clowns
Newsome looked into it.
Just stay home.
Public transportation a must
It’s called greed from the oil corporations
How is it corporations when it was the government who implemented the tax?
It's government dumbass they keep raising taxes.
As it stands the U.S. is about the only first world country that pays little for its gas. Plus, so many of you are spending exorbitant money on gas guzzling SUV’s. At some point you have to wonder why the U.S. is so privileged?
Don't you have Muslim prayer to go attend to?
Keep voting the same way, guys. You guys will never learn the lesson.
they learned how to cheat very well in California
I’m not defending democrats but do you honestly think prices will go back down,even if every position is held by a Republican? Serious question.
no one votes for oil executives and Putin. Nothing has changed in the price except the greed of billionaires
When I lived in SF the highest I paid in Northern California was $6.43. You voted for this, yes you did.

I hate living in this state
Enjoying Bidenomics comrades
shit started during the trump admin. gotta love the gop fascists right?
Did you learn anything from this segment? It is CA gas that is substantially higher than the rest of the nation. The President has little say in how CA taxes gasoline. Maybe you should pay more attention next time.
