| California Gas Taxes Set to ‘Surge' on July 1; Prices to Rise 65 Cents/Gal |
| 2025-06-26 |
| [Breitbart] California’s gas taxes will rise on July 1, and new "low carbon" fuel standards will take effect, pushing gas prices up by as much as 65 cents per gallon or more, forcing drivers to pay an estimated $6 per gallon. San Diego’s local CBS affiliate, KFMB-TV, reported on Tuesday: California drivers are bracing for a substantial increase in gas prices starting July 1, as multiple new taxes and regulations take effect. Experts are divided on just how high prices will climb, but some estimates suggest they could reach up to $6 per gallon. Warnings have been circulating for weeks that gas prices could rise even higher in the state — perhaps as high as $9 per gallon. High taxes and fuel standards already make California’s gas the most expensive in the U.S., and new taxes passed by the Democrat-controlled legislature and signed into law by Gov. Gavin Newsom mean there is no end in sight. |

| #13 They voted for this shit How many of the votes were cast by imaginary voters? California is a Democratic Party Machine stte. I would love to see what the vote count looks like after Trump DOJ-enforced cleanup of voter lists and voting processes, including photo ID for citizens only. |

| #6 I wonder whether or not the CA electorate will change its choices when gas there gets to $20 a gallon. |
