What are the mechanics behind gas being double compared to other states? I saw Newsome on TV yesterday saying only $.80 per gallon is due to higher state taxes and mixture requirements.

I mean, back out the $.80, is a loaf of bread or pound of bacon the same percentage higher than other places?
California residents pay alot more than $ .80 in taxes, I can guarantee that. I used to be one. A few years ago, it was on the ballot to raise gas taxes even more incrementally over the next 5-10 years at $.10-.20 every couple years. And wouldn't you know it, the majority idiot voters voted yes on the policy.

Probably the RINO's signing off on a budget sending out money to Ukraine. Wild guess.
